Implementing custom validation logic for a spring boot endpoint using a combination of JSR-303 and Spring's Validator

Question

I\'m trying to implement some custom validation logic for a spring boot endpoint using a combination of JSR-303 Bean Validation API and Spring\'s Validato

Answer 1

Per @M.Deinum - using addValidators() instead of setValidator() did the trick. I also agree that using JSR-303, @AssertTrue method-based annotation specifically for cross fields validation, is probably a cleaner solution. A code example is available at https://github.com/pavelfomin/spring-boot-rest-example/tree/feature/custom-validator. In the example, the middle name validation is performed via custom spring validator while last name validation is handled by the default jsr 303 validator.
