I'm using immutables.org library and want to add Javax annotation validation. But I noticed that the validations are not being carried to the generated class. I thought that immutables.org were compatible with validations annotations. I have spring-boot-starter-validation and javax.validation dependencies.
immutable
@Value.Immutable
public interface Entity {
@Valid @Size(min = 19)
int age();
@Valid @NotBlank
String name();
}
Controller:
@PostMapping("/entity/")
public ResponseEntity post2(@RequestBody @Valid ImmutableEntity entity) {
return new ResponseEntity<Object>("", HttpStatus.OK);
}

@Valid
should not be set in a model for field or class, only for controller method's argument.@Size
is not available for int
field, you need to use @Range
or @Min
.age
and name
with methods age()
and name()
? When they will be called (their implementations) than a validator will try to validate them. But not a model's fields.
