How to I get Spring-Data-MongoDB to validate my objects?

Question

I have a very simple Spring Boot application that uses Spring-Data-Mongodb

All I want to do is set a JSR-303 validation rule that says the object I\'m saving must ha

Answer 1

I found that if I add

public User addUser(@RequestBody  @Valid User newUser, 
                   BindingResult bindingResult) throws Exception {

  if (bindingResult.hasErrors()) {
    throw new Exception("Validation Error");
  }

To my controller this validates the incoming json against my rules, though I should still try and setup the validatingMongoEventListener to intercept any other parts of my code that attempt to update the model with invalid data.
