Pinaki Poddar updated OPENJPA-1114:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: openjpa-1114.2.txt

The attached patch shows how a ValidatingLifecycleManager can be configured 
without bringing in compile-time dependency to Validation API jar.
This conventional plug-in route also helps you to configure VLEM as a bean. And 
hence this patch can be improved.
For example, making ValidationMode and Factory setting as part of VLEM itself. 
This will help removing separate API method on OpenJPAConfiguration for 
ValidationMode/factory which are semantically interdependent but that fact is 
neither obvious nor perhaps enforceable within the API.

> Bean Validation APIs should be an optional runtime dependency by using 
> reflection to determine if the APIs are available before accessing our 
> ValidatorImpl class or any javax.validation.* API classes.
> openjpa-persistence will set scope=provided on geronimo-validation_1.0_spec
> openjpa-all will include the spec in the aggregated all jar
> openjpa-persistence-jdbc will not add a test dependency on the spec
> openjpa-integration will be used to test the validation support via 
> OPENJPA-1106
