Spring model validation error

I trying to validate a simple model by following some example code. I got following exception.

Here is Model:-

@Entity
public class Customer{

String password;
String confirmPassword;

public String getPassword() {
    return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
    this.password = password;
}
public String getConfirmPassword() {
    return confirmPassword;
}
public void setConfirmPassword(String confirmPassword) {
    this.confirmPassword = confirmPassword;
}

}

Validator class:-

@Component
public class PasswordValidator implements Validator{

@Override
public boolean supports(Class clazz) {
    //just validate the Customer instances
    return Customer.class.isAssignableFrom(clazz);
}

@Override
public void validate(Object target, Errors errors) {

    ValidationUtils.rejectIfEmptyOrWhitespace(errors, "password",
        "required.password", "Field name is required.");

    ValidationUtils.rejectIfEmptyOrWhitespace(errors, "confirmPassword",
            "required.confirmPassword", "Field name is required.");

    Customer cust = (Customer)target;

    if(!(cust.getPassword().equals(cust.getConfirmPassword()))){
        errors.rejectValue("password", "notmatch.password");
    }

}

}

Controller class that usages :-

@Controller
public class PasswordController {

@Autowired
private UserValidator userValidator;

@InitBinder
private void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder) {
    binder.setValidator(userValidator);
}

@RequestMapping("/password")
public ModelAndView getPssword() {


    Customer customer = new Customer();//(Customer)command;
    return new ModelAndView("customerForm","customerForm",customer);
}


@RequestMapping(value="/password", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView restPostEditUser(@ModelAttribute @Validated Customer customer, 
                                     BindingResult result) {    
    if (result.hasErrors()){

        return new ModelAndView("customerForm");
    }

    ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("CustomerSuccess");
    model.addObject("customer", customer);;
    return model;
}               
}

I got following exception:-

HTTP Status 500 - Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Invalid target for Validator [com.fnx.reg.validator.UserValidator@1aeb77d1]: com.fnx.reg.model.Customer@2ca7c795

Seems that you're setting a UserValidator instead of PasswordValidator to your binder
