The JPA API (which EclipseLink implements) is nothing to do with the Bean Validation API. To utilise the Bean Validation API you need the Bean Validation API jar (javax.validation), together with an implementation of that API (Apache BVAL, Hibernate Validator, etc) in your CLASSPATH. The only thing JPA provides is to auto-enable validation as per this link, but the default is "auto" so nothing required really for that
