Unable to get CDI working in Weblogic 12c, hibernate 5.2.4, hibernate-validator/cdi 5.3.1

Question

My env: weblogic 12c

with jpa2.1 patch that sets: SET PRE_CLASSPATH=%MW_HOME%\oracle_common\modules\javax.persistence_2.1.jar;%MW_HOME%\wlserver\modules\com.oracle.weblogic.jpa21support_1.0.0.0_2-1.jar

my-ear/APP-INF/lib contains:

hibernate-release-5.2.4.Final/lib/required/*.jar 
hibernate-validator-5.3.1/dist/*.jar and hibernate-validator-5.3.1/dist/lib/required/*

my persistence.xml:

<persistence xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence
  http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd"
  version="2.1">
<persistence-unit name="myPersistenceUnit" transaction-type="JTA">
<provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>
<jta-data-source>myDataSource</jta-data-source>

I am able to use persistence.xml and entityManager gets injected into my session bean without any issues. However when I add beans.xml (to use CDI) in one of the ejb-jar/META-INF I get:

org.jboss.weld.exceptions.UnproxyableResolutionException: WELD-001435 Normal scoped bean class org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ValidatorImpl is not proxyable because it has no no-args constructor - ValidatorBean [id=org.hibernate.validator.internal.cdi.ValidatorBean_default]. 

My weblogic-application.xml contains:

<prefer-application-packages>       
 <package-name>antlr.*</package-name>
 <package-name>org.hibernate.*</package-name>
 <package-name>org.hibernate.validator.*</package-name>
 <package-name>org.hibernate.validator.internal.cdi.*</package-name>        
 <package-name>javax.validation.*</package-name>
 <package-name>javax.validation.spi.*</package-name>
<package-name>javax.validation.bootstrap.*</package-name>

Complete stacktrace:

Exception 0 :

What am I missing? How do I get beans.xml/CDI working in this environment?

Answer 1

I installed Weblogic patches 17754607 and 23744018 (Weblogic Server 12.1.3.0.161018).

and removed: hibernate-validator-5.3.1/dist/*.jar from my-ear/APP-INF/lib.

The Oracle provided validation jars worked fine - and I am now able to use CDI.
