@GetMappi         


        

Answer 1

unfortunately there is no "legal" way to do it.

Furthermore @Valid is not enough. You need also a BindingResult method parameter to be able to check the validation result: bindingResult.hasErrors()

If you don't want to use BindingResult, you could write your own Validator and throw an Exception in case of invalid input.
