I am trying to customize messages for Hibernate validation annotations (NOTNULL , NOTEMPTY ,...) so that the application is able to read them from .proparties file.

I tried the solutions from the answer here: use custom validation in hibernate
hibernate validator

but nothing works for me i still get the deafult messages (may not be null , may not be empty , ....).

Code sample :

application context.xml :

<bean name="validator"

    class="org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.LocalValidatorFactoryBean">

    <property name="validationMessageSource">

        <ref bean="resourceBundleLocator" />

    </property>

</bean>



<bean name="resourceBundleLocator"

    class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">

    <property name="basenames">

        <list>

            <value>messages</value>

        </list>

    </property>

</bean>

user.java :

@NotNull

private String name;

messages.proparties :

user.name.notNull = incorrect name

You need to mention the key name on your @NotNull annotation.

@NotNull(meassage="{user.name.notNull}")

private String name;
