file validation.xml

<validation-config
    xmlns="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configuration"

    xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configuration validation-configuration-1.1.xsd" version="1.1">
    <message-interpolator>com.util.ResourceMessageInterpolator</message-interpolator>
</validation-config>

i copy lib hibernate into payara_home/glassfish/lib

activation-1.1.jar
hibernate-jpa-2.1-api-1.0.0.Final.jar
hibernate-core-5.1.0.Final.jar
jboss-logging-3.3.0.Final.jar

hibernate-commons-annotations-5.0.1.Final.jar
hibernate-entitymanager-5.1.0.Final.jar
hibernate-validator-5.1.0.Final.jar

Rest Application file

@ApplicationPath("/rest-api")
public class WSApplication extends Application{

    @Override
    public Set<Class<?>> getClasses() {
        Set<Class<?>> resources = new java.util.HashSet<>();
        // Add all needed 
        resources.add(UserWs.class);
        resources.add(UserSearchWs.class);
        return resources;
    }

    @Override
    public Set<Object> getSingletons() {
        final Set<Object> instances = new HashSet<Object>();
        return instances;
    }
}

i think that the cause is i am using HibernateValidator but in Payara 4.1.1.163, default is Eclipselink.
Thanks you.

I'm not sure, but I think it's complaining about the schemaLocation in your validation.xml file... I'd try changing it to http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configuration/validation-configuration-1.1.xsd and check if it makes a difference.

As @anaelcarvalho said, it looks to be complaining about the URL in your XML file. In the sample you posted, there is a space in the URL. You also look to have tried to specify the file itself, which I don't think you should do based on the example in the docs.

Try changing from:

<validation-config
    xmlns="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configuration"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configuration validation-configuration-1.1.xsd" version="1.1">

to

<validation-config
    xmlns="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configuration"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configuration" version="1.1">

Hi @anhdv1 - have you tried with the corrected URL?

Closing this as resolved. Please reopen if there's still a problem after making the change.
