How to solve cast issue java.lang.ClassCastException: $Proxy cannot be cast to NotEmpty which is annotation

bean-validation

I have a REST service project integrated with spring. I am trying to integrate bean validation. I have made a custom annotation:

 /**
  * Denotes a field as being no empty.
  *
  * @author pguzun
  */
 @Target({METHOD, FIELD, ANNOTATION_TYPE})
 @Retention(RUNTIME)
 @Constraint(validatedBy = {INotEmptyValidator.class})
 public @interface NotEmpty {

    Error error() default Error.ServerError;

    String message() default "{error.notEmpty}";

    Class<?>[] groups() default {};

    Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default {};
}

With

@Constraint(validatedBy = {INotEmptyValidator.class})

I specified the validator interface.

This is the validator implementation.

 /**
  * Checks that a String is not empty.
  *
  * @see StringUtils#isEmpty(java.lang.CharSequence)
  * @author pguzun
  */
@Component
public class NotEmptyValidatorImpl implements INotEmptyValidator {


 @Override
 public void initialize(NotEmpty notEmpty) {
     // NOTHING TO DO
 }

 @Override
 public boolean isValid(String value, ConstraintValidatorContext context) {
     return !StringUtils.isEmpty(value);
 }
}

I did make a custom Validator Constraint Factory

    /**
    * Is custom an {@link ConstraintValidatorFactory }. Engine for defining factory
    * methods for {@link ConstraintValidator}'s.
    *
    * @author pguzun
    */
    public class NeoSpringConstraintValidatorFactory implements ConstraintValidatorFactory, ApplicationContextAware {

        private ApplicationContext applicationContext;

        public NeoSpringConstraintValidatorFactory() {
        }

        @Override
        public <T extends ConstraintValidator<?, ?>> T getInstance(Class<T> key) {
            Map<String, T> beansByNames = applicationContext.getBeansOfType(key);
            if (beansByNames.isEmpty()) {
                try {
                    return key.newInstance();
                } catch (InstantiationException e) {
                    throw new RuntimeException("Could not instantiate constraint validator class '" + key.getName() + "'", e);
                } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
                    throw new RuntimeException("Could not instantiate constraint validator class '" + key.getName() + "'", e);
                }
            }
            if (beansByNames.size() > 1) {
                throw new RuntimeException("Only one bean of type '" + key.getName() + "' is allowed in the application context");
            }
            return (T) beansByNames.values().iterator().next();
        }

        @Override
        public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext applicationContext) throws BeansException {
            Assert.notNull(applicationContext, "applicationContext can not be null");
            this.applicationContext = applicationContext;
        }
    }

and configured it like this

<bean id="validator" class="org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.LocalValidatorFactoryBean" >
    <property name="constraintValidatorFactory" ref="constraintValidatorFactory"/> 
</bean>
<bean id="constraintValidatorFactory" class="com...NeoSpringConstraintValidatorFactory" >
</bean>

When I invoke validate in service on a bean that has a field annotated like this

/**
* The User's value object definition
*
* @author pguzun
*/
@XmlRootElement()
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class UserVO {

    @XmlElement
    private long id;
    @NotEmpty(error = Error.EmailVoid)
    private String email;

I get

and I know java.lang.ClassCastException: $Proxy84 cannot be cast to Clazz is a clasic spring exception when you don't use interfaces but here I do use and NotEmpty si an annotation

Please tell what do I do wrong?

ps. I use this versions of frameworks

   <properties>
    <spring.version>3.1.1.RELEASE</spring.version>
    <hibernate.version>4.1.3.Final</hibernate.version>
    <jersey.version>1.12</jersey.version>
    <validation.api.version>1.0.0.GA</validation.api.version>
    <hibernate.validator.version>4.3.0.Final</hibernate.validator.version>

I want to thank you each for spending time on this issue.
The error comes from others implemented annotations that have this constraint validator. @Constraint(validatedBy = {INotEmptyValidator.class}). This was done for sure by mistake.

Finally This is the good exemple of doing bean validation specifying constratint validator @Constraint(validatedBy = {INotEmptyValidator.class}) as interface. The implementation NotEmptyValidatorImpl is a spring bean.
