Bean Validation API

Question

Use Bean Validation API for validate object's for save in DB by Hibernate. With english letters all fine:

@Pattern(regexp="^[a-zA-Z]+$",message="Имя автора только из букв")
private String name;

When i wrote this:

@Pattern(regexp="^[a-zа-яA-ZА-Я]+$", message="Имя автора только из букв")
private String name;

It's doesn't work, take error about wrong enter data (Имя автора только из букв)

But how add russian letters in regexp?

Yes, problem in Spring form. When remove regexp and enter russian text, it's write in database something like this ÐеÑÑов

Problem solved by add this in web-app context:

     <filter>  
        <filter-name>encodingFilter</filter-name>  
        <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>  
        <init-param>  
           <param-name>encoding</param-name>  
           <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>  
        </init-param>  
        <init-param>  
           <param-name>forceEncoding</param-name>  
           <param-value>true</param-value>  
        </init-param>  
    </filter>  
    <filter-mapping>  
        <filter-name>encodingFilter</filter-name>  
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>  
    </filter-mapping> 

and regexp like [a-zA-Zа-яА-Я] work fine.
