javax.validation.NoProviderFoundException error in a native executable

Describe the bug

We are developing a Quarkus application to be used in a Serverless design (coordinated with Knative Brokers and Triggers) exposing a REST API with validations that it is working successfully in JVM mode, however it is not working with native mode.

The REST API exposes endpoints with DTO objects, integrated with validations, however, when we tested as native we are getting this error:

We found that there are some references around this issue:

• https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/discussions/24372
• https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/pull/29205

But it is not working in our case.

One of the endpoints exposed are similar to:

    @Path("/call/initial")
    @POST
    public Response publishInitialEvent(
            @Valid @Parameter(description = "Call Event", required = true) EventDTO eventDTO) {
       // Business implementation
    }

The DTO is similar to:

@XmlRootElement
@RegisterForReflection(serialization = true)
public class EventDTO implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1305278483346223763L;

    @Schema(description = "Call UUID", required = true, example = "32d4c1f3-55df-4704-a34c-ba4b2c02039d")
    @NotNull(message = "Call UUID value should be not null")
    @NotBlank(message="Call UUID may not be blank")
    private String callUUID;

    // Getters/Setters
}

Expected behavior

Execution correctly, including the validations.

Actual behavior

No response

How to Reproduce?

Implement a REST API endpoint using Validators and testing with the native mode.

To me this is a “hibernate-validator” + “cloudevents-api” issue. More in detail the issue is here:

CloudEventImpl<PlatformComponentEvent> ce =
                CloudEventBuilder.<PlatformComponentEvent>builder()
                        .withType(event.getType())
                        .withId(id)
                        .withTime(ZonedDateTime.now())
                        .withDatacontenttype(ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON.toString())
                        .withData(event)
                        .withSource(URI.create("/event-producer"))
                        //.withValidator(validator)
                        .build();

Looks that for some internal issue “CloudEvent” is not able to get an instance of Quarkus Validator (javax.validation.Validator). So maybe as a workaround you could inject the validator by your self and then use it in the cloudEvents builder

@ApplicationScoped
public class PlatformComponentEventService {

    @Inject
    Validator validator;
.
.
.

 public PlatformComponentEvent publishEvent(PlatformComponentEvent event) {
        .
        .
        .
        CloudEventImpl<PlatformComponentEvent> ce =
                CloudEventBuilder.<PlatformComponentEvent>builder()
                        .withType(event.getType())
                        .withId(id)
                        .withTime(ZonedDateTime.now())
                        .withDatacontenttype(ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON.toString())
                        .withData(event)
                        .withSource(URI.create("/event-producer"))
                        .withValidator(validator)
                        .build();

       .
       .
       .

I think that this patch could work until the issue fixed 😃

Probably a good idea to have a check if the ArC container is started and throw an exception if not.
