hibernate validation doesn't happen on persist in database

Question

I have the following session factory configuration:

     <session-factory>
        <property name="javax.persistence.validation.group.pre-persist">javax.validation.groups.Default</property>
        <property name="javax.persistence.validation.group.pre-update">javax.validation.groups.Default</property>
        <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect</property>
        <property name="hibernate.showSql">true</property>
        <property name="hbm2ddl.auto">validate</property>
        <mapping class="com.terminal.domain.Terminal"/>
        ...
    </session-factory>

Terminal class:

@Entity
@Table(name = "terminal")
public class Terminal {
    @Column(name = "cost")
    @Min(100)
    private Long cost;
    // get and set
}

I have the following code in my service method:

Terminal terminal = new Terminal();
terminal.setCost(98L);
session.save(terminal);

When I invoke it new row adds in terminal table.
expected result: validation exception and new row doesn't add in terminal table.

Why does actual result differs from expected ?

P.S.

As I understood it should work out of the box http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/validator/4.1/reference/en-US/html/validator-checkconstraints.html#validator-checkconstraints-orm-hibernateevent

P.P.S.

hibernate stuff dependencies:

       <dependency>
            <groupId>javax.persistence</groupId>
            <artifactId>persistence-api</artifactId>
            <version>1.0</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
            <version>3.3.2.GA</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
            <version>3.3.1.GA</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-commons-annotations</artifactId>
            <version>3.3.0.ga</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
            <version>4.2.0.Final</version>
        </dependency>

RESOLUTION

The problem is disappeared after making following steps:

1. migrate libary versions:

hibernate-core: 3.3.2.GA -> 4.3.10.Final
hibernate-annotations: 3.3.1.GA -> 3.5.6-Final
hibernate-commons-annotations: 3.3.0.ga -> 3.2.0.Final
hibernate-validator: 4.2.0.Final -> 5.1.3.Final

removed dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>persistence-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

2. replaced in configuration

<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
     <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory"/>
</bean

with

<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager">
     <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory"/>
 </bean

3. and for session factory:

<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
        <property name="configLocation">
            <value>classpath:hibernate-test.cfg.xml</value>
        </property>
        <property name="configurationClass">
            <value>org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration</value>
        </property>
        <property name="hibernateProperties">
            <props>
                <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
                <prop key="hibernate.connection.charSet">UTF-8</prop>
                <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
                <prop key="hibernate.format_sql">true</prop>
                <prop key="hbm2ddl.auto">create-drop</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
</bean>

with

<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
        <property name="configLocation">
            <value>classpath:hibernate-test.cfg.xml</value>
        </property>
        <property name="hibernateProperties">
            <props>
                <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
                <prop key="hibernate.connection.charSet">UTF-8</prop>
                <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
                <prop key="hibernate.format_sql">true</prop>
                <prop key="hbm2ddl.auto">create-drop</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
    </bean>

4. session factory configuration:

<session-factory>
        <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect</property>
        <property name="hibernate.showSql">true</property>
        <property name="hbm2ddl.auto">validate</property>
        ...//classes mapping
</session-factory>

Actually I didn't understand which concrete step resolved my problem but in complex it is really works

Answer 1

The configuration properties you are referencing apply to JPA. If you are using the JPA API it should work. It looks like that you are using the native Hibernate ORM Session API. You need to use the EntityManager API.
