https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-6705 The changes I've committed for CXF-6705 make it possible to use bean validation, but ... 1: only with hibernate 2: only with extra code to obtain the validation provider. This raises two questions. 1: should I restructure the features to split 'cxf-bean-validation-hibernate' from 'cxf-bean-validation', leaving room for bval? 2: should I put the code in place that actually makes it work, and, if so, where? I think it would be an additional bundle under 'osgi' that provided a BeanValidationProviderFactory or a ValidationProviderHelper.
