gwt 2.7支持的最新版hibernate-validator是什么？

Question

I've red in official documentation here , which says to use Hibernate validator 4.1.0.Final which is 5 years old.

• I am not sure is old documentation or mistake?

• What version should I use?

• And If I should use proposed version, I would like to know why gwt dosen't support newer version?

Answer 1

GWT only supports Hibernate Validator 4.1.0.Final, for client-side validation. Server side can use whichever version you want (a priori).

The reason GWT doesn't support a newer version is that nobody ever invested enough time to update. GWT has dependencies on HV internals so it's not as easy as switching versions.
In the future, the GWT team would like to move validation out into a separate project that could either be picked up by the community and maintained, or die.

For now, unless you think you could step in as a maintainer, I wouldn't recommend using javax.validation on the client side.
