Spring 3 Form Validation is working for @NotNull but not working for @Size annotation

I am facing a problem with Spring form validation. It works for @NotNull annotation but some how not working for @Size. I am attaching some code below. Thanks in advance.

    package com.doctor;
    import javax.validation.constraints.NotNull;
    import javax.validation.constraints.Size;

    public class Doctor 
    {
        @NotNull(message="Cannot be Null")
        private String uname;


        @Size(min=1,max=8,message="Min 1 and Max 8")
        private String password;
        private String doctor_fname,doctor_lname,address,dept_id,experience,email,phone,resume,image;

        public String getUname() {
            return uname;
        }


        public void setUname(String uname) {
            this.uname = uname;
        }

        public String getPassword() {
            return password;
        }

        public void setPassword(String password) {
            this.password = password;
        }

DoctorController

package com.doctor;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.validation.BindingResult;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import javax.validation.Valid;

@Controller
public class DoctorController {


    @RequestMapping(value="/registerDoctor", method=RequestMethod.GET)
    public String showRegisterForm(Model model) 
    {
        System.out.println("test");
        model.addAttribute(new Doctor());
        //return "register1";
        return "doctor/edit";
    }
    @RequestMapping(value="/registerDoctor", method=RequestMethod.POST)
    public String addDoctorformForm(@Valid Doctor doctor,BindingResult bindingresult) 
    {
        if(bindingresult.hasErrors())
        {
            return "doctor/edit";

        }
        else
        {               
            return "doctor/added";
        }


    }
}

        </fieldset>
    </sf:form>

Output

I don't understand why @Size for password is not working.

Help will be highly appreciated.

The issue it seems is you are using multipart form but I dont think I see a mention about multipartResolver. If needed here is how you can add it

<bean id="multipartResolver class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver">

It is because null is a valid value from @Sizes point of view.

You need both annotations:

@Size(min=1,max=8,message="Min 1 and Max 8")
@NotNull
private String password;

BTW: Your form is a simple form with no file upload, so there is no need to have `enctype="multipart/form-data" - I would remove it
