    if (bindingResult.hasErrors()) {
        System.out.println("ERROR in user Form");
        return "user/edit";

why this exception is coming on entering invalid email rather than validation has to be performed.

In your controller's addUser method, your BindingResult needs to be immediately after the bean:

public String addUser(@Valid UserBean userBean, BindingResult bindingResult,
                      Model model, RedirectAttributes redirectAttrs) {
    ...
}
