ValidatorEngine.Validate returns null (no error) if configured its ValidatorMode.UseExternal

i am integrating nhibernate validator into my application and and everything is fine with attributes but as soon as I create *.nhv.xml files and move my validation rules there (as embedde开发者_运维知识库d resource)

ValidatorEngine.Validate(entity)

returns wrong (actually nothing and my InvalidValue[] collection is empty

I appropriate any comment/advise

---

The problem was because of configuration part of the nhibernate validator
first the

NHibernateSharedEngineProvider

should get assigned to

NHibernate.Validator.Cfg.Environment.SharedEngineProvider

then we have to call the current engine's

Configure

not a new instance of ValidatorEngine
so the full configuration section may look like this:

           var provider = new NHibernateSharedEngineProvider();
           NHibernate.Validator.Cfg.Environment.SharedEngineProvider = provider;


       var nhvConfiguration = new FluentConfiguration();
       nhvConfiguration
              .SetDefaultValidatorMode(ValidatorMode.UseExternal)
              .Register(Assembly.Load("assembley name")
                  .ValidationDefinitions())
              .IntegrateWithNHibernate
                      .ApplyingDDLConstraints()
                      .And
                      .RegisteringListeners();

        var validatorEngine = NHibernate.Validator.Cfg.Environment.SharedEngineProvider.GetEngine();
        validatorEngine.Configure(nhvConfiguration);
