title: JSR-303 custom ConstraintValidator in Spring MVC
body: <p>I am trying to implement a <code>@Future</code> validator for joda time objects.</p>
  
  <p>I followed the implementation for the <code>@Past</code> annotation found <a href="http://musingsofaprogrammingaddict.blogspot.com/2010/05/providing-bean-validation-support-for.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. So far, so good.</p>
  
  <p>Now I am failing at telling spring that I have this new constraint. Is there a way to configure the Spring MVC (other than just <code>&lt;mvc:annotation-driven /&gt;</code>) to tell him where the validation.xml file is? Or just to directly tell him where my new validator is?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
