Answer 1

At last I found the solution of my problem.

To display customised messages, follow this :

@NotBlank(message = "your messages")
private String variableName;

You can use (messege="...") with every hibernate validator defined annotations, eg. @Range, @Size, @NotEmpty, etc.

No need to create any ValidationMessages.properties file or messages.properties file for your own. No need to do anything in spring-context.xml file for binding.

Please put your messages.properties file user src/main/resources folder
