Description

To be spec compliant bval check there is only one validation.xml in the classloader.

However in tomcat WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/validation.xml is returned twice so it fails because of the following code in ValidationParser:

           if ( path.equals("META-INF/validation.xml") ) {
                Enumeration<URL> urls = loader.getResources(path);
                if ( urls.hasMoreElements() && (urls.nextElement() != null) && urls.hasMoreElements() ) {
                    throw new ValidationException("More than one " + path + " is found in the classpath");
                }
            }

To fix it urls should be check to see if they are all equals or loader.findResources(path) could be used instead of loader.getResources(path).
