Answer 1

Maybe lib conflict happens.

With my case:

jboss.common:jboss-common:jar:1.2.1.GA
org.jboss.logging:jboss-logging:jar:3.3.0.Final

exist together, but they have same package "org.jboss.logging".

Just exclusion one in pom.xml

Answer 2

I guess some library is missing because I download library à la carte

you download from here as a package instead of you download à la carte

setup GUIDELINE http://hibernate.org/validator/documentation/getting-started/

Import and include library below in your project

• classmate-1.1.0.jar
• javax.el-2.2.4.jar
• javax.el-api-2.2.4.jar
• jboss-logging-3.2.1.Final.jar
• validation-api-1.1.0.Final.jar
• hibernate-validator-5.2.2.Final.jar
• hibernate-validator-annotation-processor-5.2.2.Final.jar
• hibernate-validator-cdi-5.2.2.Final.jar

Then your code should be working.

I used sts to generate the spring project. I was getting the above error. After spending 2 days, I figured adjusting the version fix the problem.

In the parent section of pom.xml, I replaced 1.5.4 with 1.2.5

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.5.RELEASE</version>
  </parent>
