If your application includes the class Validator.class
(including in internal jar files) Liberty may get confused
between the the classfile in your application and the class file
installed inside liberty itself leading to a WELD-001408:
Unsatisfied dependencies for type Validator with qualifiers
@Default exception.

Problem conclusion

The relevant part of the code now searches through Liberty's
class files before the application's class files.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
pack 16.0.0.4.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
delivery information:
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980

Temporary fix

Disable implicit beans scanning

Liberty: add  <cdi12 enableImplicitBeanArchives="false"/>  to
your server.xml
Websphere: see http://www-
01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21983564

If your application uses cdi then you will also need to add a
beans.xml file or files to reenable bean scanning. So long as
you do not have a beans.xml this in the same war or jar file as
Validator.class it will resolve this issue.
