Hibernate validator required for war deployment to Mule - spring-mvc

Question

I’ve created a simple maven project that demonstrates Spring MVC accepts a request and returns a JSON object.
Here’s the pom.xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Here is my RESTController.java
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestHeader;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;
#Controller
public class RESTController {
#RequestMapping("/users/{id}")
#ResponseBody
public User getUser(#PathVariable Long id, #RequestHeader("Accept") String acceptHeader) {
return new User(id, "John Doe");
}
}
And my User.java
public class User {
private Long id;
private String name;
public User() {
}
public User(Long id, String name) {
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
}
public Long getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(Long id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
As far as I’m aware, I’m not using any validation. When I package the project and run Jetty within Eclipse, I receive no errors and the response to
http://localhost:8080/users/5
is
{"id":5,"name":"John Doe"}
Now I deploy the application in Mule following these steps
Create the following folder structure under scr/main/app/webapps
Drop the war file to this location
The mule configuration is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mule xmlns="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:jetty="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/jetty"

<jetty:connector name="jettyConnector">
<jetty:webapps directory="${app.home}/webapps" port="8083" />
</jetty:connector>
</mule>
Running dependency tree outside of Mule Anypoint studio. Note - I need to "mavenize" the mule project achieve this

Now, when I run the mule application (Mule server 3.5.0 CE) I get the following error
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.LocalValidatorFactoryBean#0': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is javax.validation.ValidationException: Unable to find a default provider
Which is fine, if I uncomment the pom.xml entry on my rest project, I can run successfully in Mule.
So, my question, what is the difference between running the app in Eclipse with Jetty plugin and running in Mule again on Jetty.
