APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In order to use Bean Validation added in JAX-RS 2.0, I sent a
  validation error request with annotation of Bean Validation to
  Resource class.
  However, the result did not become a validation error and it was
  processed normally.
  
  I think that Bean Validation did not function.
  

Local fix

• N/A

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The application server does not         *
  *                      validate JAX-RS resources when          *
  *                      a resource lacks a class level Bean     *
  *                      Validation constraint                   *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Before invoking a JAX-RS resource method, the application
  server validates the resource's method level Bean Validation
  constraints only when the resource declares a class level
  constraint.  That is, the server does not validate method
  level Bean Validation constraints when invoking a method of a
  JAX-RS resource that does not declare a class level constraint.
  The unexpected behavior is caused by a JAX-RS server runtime
  optimization where the runtime skips Bean Validation whenever
  a JAX-RS resource lacks a class level constraint.
  APAR PI77554 modifes the JAX-RS server runtime to always
  validate the Bean Validation constraints of a JAX-RS resource
  -- in particular, method level constraints -- before
  invoking the resource's methods.
  

Problem conclusion

• Apply APAR PI77554 to enable the JAX-RS server runtime to
  always validate the Bean Validation constraints of a JAX-RS
  resource before invoking the resource's methods.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 9.0.0.4.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
