We are trying to deploy an jhipster app on JBOSS EAP 6.4, I have fiew problem with JPA 2.1 and VALIDATION 2, The problem is the JBOSS is JAVA EE 6, but jhipster use a fiew JAVA EE 7 feature. we have added the jboss-deployment-structure.xml file for try to esclude some modules.
Now i solve the JPA 2.1 issue and the validation but stil to have a problem.
this is the jboss-deployment-structure.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Try to change hibernate validator from version 6 to version 5.
1) exclude hibernate validator from spring-boot-starter-web:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.hibernate.validator</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
2) add hibernate validator version 5:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
<version>5.4.2.Final</version>
</dependency>
My apps with jhipster 5.6.1 work with this method. I read compatibility from spring-boot doc, regarding LocalValidatorFactoryBean. I'm using eap 6.4.8
