title: How to force disable JSR-303 support in Spring 3?
body: <p>I have some legacy Spring MVC code mixed with gwt code in same artifact (built using maven) and I cannot make it run. It wants validation provider at runtime which i do not need (since I'm not using any JSR-303 validation annotations) and do not want in CP (it may conflict with some app containers this artifact will be deployed in)</p>
  
  <p>How to force spring not to do any JSR-303 validations and get rid of runtime dependency on validation provider?</p>
  
  <p>PS artifact has validation-api in CP since GWT is using it somehow</p>
  
  <p>PPS
  Seems like removing <code>&lt;mvc:annotation-driven/&gt;</code> from Spring config fixes this. 
  Binding and classic validations still works (I have <code>&lt;context:annotation-config/&gt;</code> enabled)</p>
