Bean validation not working and getting no errors as well

Hi,

I am trying to create a controller endpoint inside my custom module, so I am trying to use @valid @responsebody for receiving body of POST with validation and serialize them into my model with the help of constraints available in javax and hibernate validator , but during runtime I am not able to get any validation error in case constraints fail when supplied the incorrect key-value in request body. Its just serializing the body into the model with null value for those keys not provided in the request.

Runtime details:

  1. openmrs-2.1.1.
  2. validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar
  3. hibernate-validator-4.2.0.Final.jar

Model.java

package org.custommodule.requestmodels;
  
import javax.validation.constraints.Pattern;

import org.hibernate.validator.constraints.NotEmpty;
import org.hibernate.validator.constraints.Email;
import javax.validation.Valid;
import java.util.*;
  
public class SignupRequest {
	
	public static class UserAttributes {
		
		@NotEmpty(message = "'type' missing in userAttributes")
		private String type;
		
		@NotEmpty(message = "'value' missing in userAttributes")
		private String value;
		
		public String getType() {
			return type;
		}
		
		public void setType(String type) {
			this.type = type;
		}
		
		public String getValue() {
			return value;
		}
		
		public void setValue(String value) {
			this.value = value;
		}
	}
	
	@NotEmpty(message = "'firstName' missing")
	private String firstName;
	
	@NotEmpty(message = "'lastName' missing")
	private String lastName;

	}
	
	public String getType() {
		return type;
	}
	
	public void setType(String type) {
		this.type = type;
	}
	
	public String getGender() {
		return gender;
	}
	
	public void setGender(String gender) {
		this.gender = gender;
	}
	
	public String getPhone() {
		return phone;
	}
	
	public void setPhone(String phone) {
		this.phone = phone;
	}
	
	public String getCountry() {
		return country;
	}
	
	public void setCountry(String country) {
		this.country = country;
	}
	
	public String getDob() {
		return dob;
	}
	
	public void setDob(String dob) {
		this.dob = dob;
	}
	
	public ArrayList<UserAttributes> getUserAttributes() {
		return userAttributes;
	}
	
	public void setUserAttributes(ArrayList<UserAttributes> userAttributes) {
		this.userAttributes = userAttributes;
	}
	
}

Controller.java


    @RequestMapping(value = "/v5", method = RequestMethod.POST)
	public @ResponseBody
	Object createNewUser(@Valid @RequestBody SignupRequest signupRequest,HttpServletRequest request,
	        HttpServletResponse response) throws ResponseException {
		
		SimpleObject result = new SimpleObject();
		result.put("req", signupRequest);
		
		return result;
	}


Can anyone point what i am doing wrong or missing something.

Thanks

@dkayiwa any inputs on this issue please.

Is your module in a publicly accessible repository?

Really Sorry not available in public repository.
I just need a hint on creating an api endpoint with which takes an @requesrtbody data into our model having custom validation and it should be able to return error if any of the validation fails, I think will be able to handle error using a class with @controlleradvice annotation, but the main thing is that the validation is not happening, which should as we are using both

  1. validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar

  2. hibernate-validator-4.2.0.Final.jar

jars which enable validation handling.

Can you guide with any similar use case in any other openmrs module’s code.

Hi @user007 did you find any solution to your issue?
