'JSR-303 validator failed to initialize' error remains even I followed instruction

[lilyzhang79]

I want to use the @RetryOnFailure annotation, so I added the dependencies and it compiled but got the following error.

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.jboss.logging).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http:https://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.
[ERROR] JSR-303 validator failed to initialize: Unable to instantiate Configuration. (see http:https://www.jcabi.com/jcabi-aspects/jsr-303.html)

I do not need to use the validator annotation. Is there a way I can exclude it so I do not need to solve the dependencies here?

I tried to resolve the dependency by following https://aspects.jcabi.com/jsr-303.html, but still got the same error.

In docker when I started the service by java $JAVA_OPTS -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseCGroupMemoryLimitForHeap -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom -jar /app.jar, it gave error.

so my current pom.xml have the following:

I added two more dependencies in pom.xml and the error after service started changed to
