Spring MVC invalid Date Format error message not showing

I'm having trouble regarding Date validation in Spring MVC 3

ClientForm.java

 public class ClientForm
 {
      private Date bday = new Date();

      //Getters and setters
 }

In my Controller

    @RequestMapping(value = "/save", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String save(@Valid ClientForm form, BindingResult result)
{
    if(result.hasErrors())
    {
        return "client.form";
    }

    return "redirect:search";
}

messages.properties

client.search.notnumber=Search value must be a number
typeMismatch.java.util.Date = Invalid date

jsp

<form:form action="save.html" method="post" commandName="clientForm">
    <form:input path="bday" cssClass="date-pick dp-applied" />
    <form:errors path="bday" element="label" cssClass="error"/>
</form:form>

Other validation messages in 'messages.properties' works fine but when i intentionally typed an invalid date (i.e. 111/12/2011)

i got this error message
