Question

I am trying to validate my form Data using Hibernate Validator in my Spring MVC application.
I have a requirement where i need to check user input for predefined values which will not be allowed in the system.

for e.g if the value of firstName field is firstName, i want to fail the validation and tell user that this value is not allowed.

Can any one tell me how this can be achieved using hibernate validation

You can create a custom validator that implements ConstraintValidator.
