Official document:

Define spring bean:
<bean id="validator" class="org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.LocalValidatorFactoryBean">
<property name="validationMessageSource" ref="messageSource" />
</bean>
This will add spring message source to be recognized by hibernate. Now tell spring this validator will be used in mvc:
<mvc:annotation-driven validator="validator"/>
Else spring will create a new default instance for LocalValidationFactoryBean
The last step is to add constraints and @Valid on controller, and add error messages.
