I've this custom spring hibernate validator and a tested message.properties file (it works) but I'm not able to set this part of code right: {EmailExists.user.default}... I mean, it doesn't get the EmailExists.user.default=blablabla var on the property file...

```
package org.andreadorigo.webapp.validators.costraints;

import java.lang.annotation.Documented;
import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;

import javax.validation.Constraint;
import javax.validation.Payload;

import org.andreadorigo.webapp.validators.EmailExistsValidator;

@Documented
@Constraint(validatedBy = EmailExistsValidator.class)
@Target( { ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.FIELD })
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface EmailExists {

    String message() default "EmailExists.user.default";

    Class<?>[] groups() default {};

    Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default {};

}

```

**message\_it.properties**

```
constraints.dbexists=Il valore inserito è già presente nel database

```

**hibernateContext.xml**
