I try to write very simple application with hibernate validator   my steps   add following dependency in pom xml    lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt org hibernate lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt hibernate-validator lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 5 1 1 Final lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt    write code   class Configuration       Range min 1 max 100      int threadNumber                 public static void main String   args            ValidatorFactory factory   Validation buildDefaultValidatorFactory             Validator validator   factory getValidator             Configuration configuration   new Configuration            configuration threadNumber   12                             Set lt ConstraintViolation lt Configuration gt  gt  constraintViolations   validator validate configuration           System out println constraintViolations              And I gets following stacktrace   Exception in thread  main  javax validation ValidationException  Unable to instantiate Configuration      at javax validation Validation GenericBootstrapImpl configure Validation java 279      at javax validation Validation buildDefaultValidatorFactory Validation java 110              at org hibernate validator internal engine ConfigurationImpl  lt init gt  ConfigurationImpl java 110      at org hibernate validator internal engine ConfigurationImpl  lt init gt  ConfigurationImpl java 86      at org hibernate validator HibernateValidator createGenericConfiguration HibernateValidator java 41      at javax validation Validation GenericBootstrapImpl configure Validation java 276          2 more   What do I wrong

Regarding the Hibernate validator documentation page  you have to define a dependency to a JSR-341 implementation    lt dependency gt      lt groupId gt org glassfish lt  groupId gt      lt artifactId gt javax el lt  artifactId gt      lt version gt 3 0 1-b11 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt

I ran into the same issue and the above answers didn t help  I need to debug and find it    lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt org apache hadoop lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt hadoop-common lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 2 6 0-cdh5 13 1 lt  version gt           lt exclusions gt               lt exclusion gt                   lt artifactId gt jsp-api lt  artifactId gt                   lt groupId gt javax servlet jsp lt  groupId gt               lt  exclusion gt           lt  exclusions gt       lt  dependency gt   After excluding the jsp-api  it worked for me

If using Spring Boot this works well  Even with Spring Reactive Mongo    lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt org springframework boot lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt spring-boot-starter-validation lt  artifactId gt   lt  dependency gt    and validation config   import org springframework context annotation Bean  import org springframework context annotation Configuration  import org springframework data mongodb core mapping event ValidatingMongoEventListener  import org springframework validation beanvalidation LocalValidatorFactoryBean    Configuration public class MongoValidationConfig         Bean     public ValidatingMongoEventListener validatingMongoEventListener             return new ValidatingMongoEventListener validator                 Bean     public LocalValidatorFactoryBean validator             return new LocalValidatorFactoryBean

The Hibernate Validator requires     but does not include     an Expression Language  EL  implementation   Adding a dependency on one will will fix the issue   lt dependency gt      lt groupId gt org glassfish lt  groupId gt      lt artifactId gt jakarta el lt  artifactId gt      lt version gt 3 0 3 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt   This requirement is documented in the Getting started with Hibernate Validator documentation   In a Java EE environment  it would be provided by the container   In a standalone application such as yours  it needs to be provided   Hibernate Validator also requires an implementation of the Unified Expression Language  JSR 341  for evaluating dynamic expressions in constraint violation messages  When your application runs in a Java EE container such as WildFly  an EL implementation is already provided by the container  In a Java SE environment  however  you have to add an implementation as dependency to your POM file  For instance  you can add the following dependency to use the JSR 341 reference implementation   lt dependency gt     lt groupId gt org glassfish lt  groupId gt     lt artifactId gt jakarta el lt  artifactId gt     lt version gt   version jakarta el-api  lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt    There are other EL implementations that can be used other than Glassfish   For instance  Spring Boot versions 2 2 x and earlier by default used embedded Tomcat  it s since switched to use the Jakarta EL reference implementation    That version of EL can be used as follows   lt dependency gt      lt groupId gt org apache tomcat embed lt  groupId gt      lt artifactId gt tomcat-embed-el lt  artifactId gt      lt version gt 9 0 41 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt   That said  in a Spring Boot project  typically one would use the spring-boot-starter-validation dependency rather than specifying the Hibernate validator  amp  EL libraries directly   That dependency includes both hibernate-validator and the EL implementation   lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt org springframework boot lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt spring-boot-starter-validation lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 2 4 2 RELEASE lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt

do just   lt dependency gt      lt groupId gt javax el lt  groupId gt      lt artifactId gt javax el-api lt  artifactId gt      lt version gt 2 2 4 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt

In case you don t need javax el  for example in a JavaSE application   use ParameterMessageInterpolator from Hibernate validator   Hibernate validator is a standalone component  which can be used without Hibernate itself   Depend on hibernate-validator   lt dependency gt      lt groupId gt org hibernate lt  groupId gt      lt artifactId gt hibernate-validator lt  artifactId gt      lt version gt 6 0 16 Final lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt    Use ParameterMessageInterpolator  import javax validation Validation  import javax validation Validator  import org hibernate validator messageinterpolation ParameterMessageInterpolator   private static final Validator VALIDATOR     Validation byDefaultProvider        configure        messageInterpolator new ParameterMessageInterpolator         buildValidatorFactory        getValidator

It is working after adding to pom xml following dependencies    lt dependency gt      lt groupId gt javax el lt  groupId gt      lt artifactId gt javax el-api lt  artifactId gt      lt version gt 2 2 4 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt   lt dependency gt      lt groupId gt org glassfish web lt  groupId gt      lt artifactId gt javax el lt  artifactId gt      lt version gt 2 2 4 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt    Getting started with Hibernate Validator      Hibernate Validator also requires an implementation of the Unified Expression Language  JSR 341  for evaluating dynamic expressions in constraint violation messages  When your application runs in a Java EE container such as WildFly  an EL implementation is already provided by the container  In a Java SE environment  however  you have to add an implementation as dependency to your POM file  For instance you can add the following two dependencies to use the JSR 341 reference implementation    lt dependency gt      lt groupId gt javax el lt  groupId gt      lt artifactId gt javax el-api lt  artifactId gt      lt version gt 2 2 4 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt   lt dependency gt      lt groupId gt org glassfish web lt  groupId gt      lt artifactId gt javax el lt  artifactId gt      lt version gt 2 2 4 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt

If you re using spring boot with starters - this dependency adds both tomcat-embed-el and hibernate-validator dependencies    lt dependency gt      lt groupId gt org springframework boot lt  groupId gt      lt artifactId gt spring-boot-starter-validation lt  artifactId gt   lt  dependency gt

If you are using tomcat as your server runtime and you get this error in tests  because tomcat runtime is not available during tests  than it makes make sense to include tomcat el runtime instead of the one from glassfish   This would be        lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt org apache tomcat lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt tomcat-el-api lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 8 5 14 lt  version gt           lt scope gt test lt  scope gt       lt  dependency gt       lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt org apache tomcat lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt tomcat-jasper-el lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 8 5 14 lt  version gt           lt scope gt test lt  scope gt       lt  dependency gt
