Resteasy Bean Validation Not Being Invoked, again

My question is similar to Resteasy Bean Validation Not Being Invoked. The solutions there don't work, though.

I'm using Resteasy 3.0.9.Final with resteasy-validator-provider-11 in my pom. I'm launching the whole thing using a custom Jetty class.

Weirdly, validation is working fine on @PathParams, but not on beans.

@POST
@Path("/foo/{myParam}")
public Message post(MyBean myBean, @PathParam("myParam") @Size(min=5) String myParam) {
    return new Message("bean:" + myBean.toString());
}

public static class MyBean {

    @NotNull
    public String myStr;

    @Max(value = 3)
    public int myInt;

    public String toString() {
        return myStr + myInt;
    }
}

In this case, the @Size constraint on myParam is working fine. But the @NotNull and @Max constraints in MyBean are not getting invoked.

Am I missing an annotation somewhere?

Here's one more clue. My logs include these entries:

2014-12-30 12:16:56 org.hibernate.validator.internal.util.Version 6446 INFO  HV000001: Hibernate Validator 5.0.1.Final
2014-12-30 12:16:56 org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.validation.AbstractValidatorContextResolver 6477 INFO  Unable to find CDI supporting ValidatorFactory. Using default ValidatorFactory

I believe, but not 100% sure, that the issue is that you're missing @Valid on the MyBean parameter. I would also recommend to make it a separate class, rather than a static class.

Per the spec, validation constraints on methods where the object is a complex object need to have the parameter annotated @Valid to ensure that the constraints are cascaded.
