I have added following dependencies and my problem is solved. Thanks to Hibernate guys, they provide us a legacy validator.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-validator-legacy</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.2.GA</version>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <artifactId>hibernate-commons-annotations</artifactId>
                <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>

Long story short. You can't use the latest Hibernate version (3.5+) with JBoss 4.2.3, as there is interference between Hibernate dependencies and EJB JARs in 4.2.3. You have 3 choices:

• Use the Hibernate which ships with 4.2.3 and doesn't interfere with the EJB JARs
• Use an earlier version of JBoss which doesn't have Hibernate (like 4.0.2)
• Use a later version of JBoss which has a newer version of Hibernate
