Compatibility with Hibernate Validator 6.0 GA [SPR-15808]

[spring-projects-issues]

Kedar Joshi opened SPR-15808 and commented

Hibernate Validator 6.0 CR3 was released few days back and it should go GA very soon, considering only 4 issues are yet to be fixed.

Now should be a good time to assess its compatibility with the upcoming spring version.

This has been largely addressed through #18061 already, with Hibernate Validator 6.0 as the reference implementation for Bean Validation 2.0. Good point nevertheless, we should double-check runtime compatibility with HV 6.0 GA once it is out, assumably for out 5.0 RC4 release.

There are no known problems for common use cases at this point. As a limitation due to Bean Validation 1.1 compatibility, note that Spring's LocalValidatorFactoryBean bootstrap decorator does not support the getClockProvider() method for direct API calls; it only supports those on unwrapped ValidatorFactory instances.
