Bean Validation constraint(s) violated while executing Automatic Bean Validation on callback event: 'prePersist'

I created an EJB Session facade in my Netbeans 7 for saving my entity. I have a manytoone mapping between my Insurance and开发者_如何学编程 RatePlan Class.

public class Insurance{
    @ManyToOne(optional=false) 
    @JoinColumn(name="PLAN_ID")
    private RatePlan plan;
}
public class RatePlan{
    @OneToMany(mappedBy="plan")
    private Set<Insurance> insuranceItems;
}

When I tried saving in my database using my EJB Session Bean, I am encountering below error.

Caused by: javax.validation.ConstraintViolationException: Bean Validation constraint(s) violated while executing Automatic Bean Validation on callback event:'prePersist'. Please refer to embedded ConstraintViolations for details.

What I did was to turn off my Bean validation in my Persistence.xml file. I would like to know what Bean validation error has occurred but I dont know how or where to find it or how to configure and catch it.

My EJB facade is a simple class like tis.

public class InsuranceFacade{
    public void saveInsurance(Insurance insurance){
        em.persist(insurance);
    }
}

Any hints?

To know what specific constraint violations have occurred, you could just inspect the exception caught. ConstraintViolationException.getConstraintViolations() returns a Set of ConstraintViolations which you can iterate and inspect.

I got the same problem, but after hours looking for the answer, Finally I Found it.... You should edit your AbstractFacade.java class and add this code

public void create(T entity) {

    ValidatorFactory factory = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory();
    Validator validator = factory.getValidator();
    Set<ConstraintViolation<T>> constraintViolations = validator.validate(entity);
    if(constraintViolations.size() > 0){
        Iterator<ConstraintViolation<T>> iterator = constraintViolations.iterator();
        while(iterator.hasNext()){
            ConstraintViolation<T> cv = iterator.next();
            System.err.println(cv.getRootBeanClass().getName()+"."+cv.getPropertyPath() + " " +cv.getMessage());

            JsfUtil.addErrorMessage(cv.getRootBeanClass().getSimpleName()+"."+cv.getPropertyPath() + " " +cv.getMessage());
        }
    }else{
        getEntityManager().persist(entity);
    }
}

Now this method will alert you which property and why it fails the validation. I hope this works for you, as it does for me.

catch (EJBException e) {
        @SuppressWarnings("ThrowableResultIgnored")
        Exception cause = e.getCausedByException();
        if (cause instanceof ConstraintViolationException) {
            @SuppressWarnings("ThrowableResultIgnored")
            ConstraintViolationException cve = (ConstraintViolationException) e.getCausedByException();
            for (Iterator<ConstraintViolation<?>> it = cve.getConstraintViolations().iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
                ConstraintViolation<? extends Object> v = it.next();
                System.err.println(v);
                System.err.println("==>>"+v.getMessage());
            }
        }
        Assert.fail("ejb exception");
    }

Catch the following exception where you persisting the entity. In my case its in the EJB add method. where I am doing em.persist(). Then check the server log, you will see which attribute having constrain violation.

catch (ConstraintViolationException e) {
       log.log(Level.SEVERE,"Exception: ");
       e.getConstraintViolations().forEach(err->log.log(Level.SEVERE,err.toString()));
    }
