I have deployed a custom SPI into the Quarkus distribution of Keycloak.  
I noticed that lots of features that would work in a standalone Quarkus application (with autoconfiguration), don’t work in a custom SPI.  
In this case, I’m not able to validate a REST request body with **jakarta.validation**.  
Annotations like **@Valid** , and **@NotNull** are ignored.  
Tried to inject a **Validator** object manually, but such a bean does not exist.  
Also tried to call **Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory()** but it says **“jakarta.validation.NoProviderFoundException: Unable to create a Configuration, because no Jakarta Bean Validation provider could be found. Add a provider like Hibernate Validator (RI) to your classpath”**.  
Is there any solution to this?  
thanks!
