It's because Hibernate validator is looking at another place for the error message resolver.

For the easiest thing to make it works, I think you can create a file name "ValidationMessages.properties" and put it in your classpath folder. Then put the error messages into that file (got from validation_errors_en_GB.properties)

By the way, the brackets are required when specifying error messages in model classes (message="{validation.too.long}")
