spring validation: (portlet) issues such as noclassdeffounderror

I'm trying to get spring form validation working. However I'm having some issues.

When I deploy my application I get:

Error creating bean wit
h name 'org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.LocalValidatorFactoryBean#
0': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethod
Error: org.slf4j.helpers.MessageFormatter.format(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Ob
ject;)Lorg/slf4j/helpers/FormattingTuple;


Could not initialize class org.hibernate.validator.engine.ConfigurationImpl

When I visit the page I get:

    org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean wit
h name 'org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.LocalValidatorFactoryBean#
0': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFo
undError: Could not initialize class org.hibernate.validator.engine.Configuratio
nImpl

Bean class:

public class User{
    @Min(13)
    private int age;
    private String name;

    public int getAge() {
        return age;
    }

    public void setAge(int age) {
        this.age = age;
    }

    public String getName(){
            return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name){
            this.name = name;
    }   
}

Controller snippet:

@ActionMapping(params = "myAction=validateUser")
    public void validateUser(ActionRequest request, ActionResponse response, ModelMap model, @ModelAttribute("user") @Valid User user, BindingResult result ){      

        if(result.hasErrors()){
            for(ObjectError oe : result.getAllErrors()){
                System.out.println(oe.getDefaultMessage());
            }
        } else{
            //code

    }

JSP:

<form:form action="${registerUser}" method="post" commandName="user">
    <b>User</b> 
    <form:input path="age"/>
    <form:input path="name"/>
    <input type="submit" value="register"/>
</form:form>

Remove the dependency on slf4j. It's with an incorrect version. Hibernate defines a transitive dependency, so the correct version will be fetched.

Caused by: SPR-6817 So just added the tags myself.
