you can get the Constain name directly from Hibernate's exception type. use

getConstraintName

property to get DB constrain name.

} catch (ConstraintViolationException conEx) {
            if (conEx.getConstraintName().contains("PROJECT_UK")) {
                //TODO Project Entity is violating it's constrain

I've used contains because I want this app to run on multiple DB Schemas. By default getConstraintName comes with DB name like

MyDBName.ConstrainName
