        # src/Acme/EventBundle/Resources/config/validation.yml
Acme\EventBundle\Entity\Event:
    properties:
        startsAt:
            - Time: ~

        // src/Acme/EventBundle/Entity/Event.php

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class Event
{
    /**
     * @Assert\Time()
     */
     protected $startsAt;
}
