Spring initial view fails to load

Error when rendering the initial screen in Spring

I created a Spring project in Eclipse (Maven build). I added hibernate-validator to the <dependencies> block in pom.xml but forgot to add it to application-config.xml. With the JAR on the build path, Tomcat failed to start and printed “Context initialization failed due to previous errors.” If you hit a context error after adding validation annotations, check this configuration first so you do not repeat my mistake.
