[JSR 303 - Bean Validation] HV000183: Unable to initialize 'javax.el.ExpressionFactory'.

Problem
I am using JSR 303 to do bean validation.

When I try to initialize Validator instance ..... 

Validator validator = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory().getValidator(); 

But I get the following error message: 

Exception in thread "main" javax.validation.ValidationException: HV000183: Unable to initialize 'javax.el.ExpressionFactory'. Check that you have the EL dependencies on the classpath, or use ParameterMessageInterpolator instead
