Cannot resolve symbol 'jakarta'-CodePudding

I am using the latest version of the hibernate validator package in my maven project. My pom file contains this

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
        <version>7.0.4.Final</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>

When I use version 6, everything works fine, but with version 7, the following method throws an error.

private void addValidationError(ConstraintViolation<?> cv) {
    this.addValidationError(
            cv.getRootBeanClass().getSimpleName(),
            ((PathImpl) cv.getPropertyPath()).getLeafNode().asString(),
            cv.getInvalidValue(),
            cv.getMessage());
}

The error is with the cast to PathImpl. Hovering over the error I get this message:

Inconvertible types; cannot cast 'javax.validation.Path' to 'org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.path.PathImpl'

When I navigate to the PathImpl class, I can see that the file (in the jar that has been automatically downloaded and is of course not controlled by me) does not compile because these two lines in it are erroring

import jakarta.validation.ElementKind;
import jakarta.validation.Path;

The error is

Cannot resolve symbol 'jakarta'

Am I doing something wrong?

EDIT

CodePudding user response：

You are trying to mix Java EE with Jakarta EE.

With the most recent version the namespaces have changed from javax to jakarta.

Make sure that your dependencies are all up to date and use the same version.

Important notice

You are using Spring Boot. And Spring Boot will be ready for Jakarta EE with version 3! So you cannot use any dependency that is using something from the jakarta namespace.

Additionally with Spring Boot you shouldn't override the version that comes with it.

CodePudding user response：

It's because of namespace changing from javax to jakarta in newer versions of Jakarta EE specifications. You should use older version of hibernate-validator (as you said) or just update Jakarta platform dependency as for compatibility:

<dependency>
    <groupId>jakarta.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>jakarta.jakartaee-api</artifactId>
    <version>8.0.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
