5. Validation Annotations (javax.validation / jakarta.validation)

@Valid

Purpose:

Used to trigger validation on an object passed as a parameter in a controller or service method.

Example:

@PostMapping("/users")

public ResponseEntity<?> createUser(@Valid @RequestBody User user) {

return ResponseEntity.ok(userService.save(user));

@NotNull, @NotEmpty, @NotBlank

Purpose:

Validate that fields are not null or empty:

- @NotNull Value must not be null.

- @NotEmpty Value must not be null and must not be empty (applies to strings, collections).

- @NotBlank Value must not be null, empty, or whitespace (applies to strings).

Example:

public class User {

@NotBlank(message = "Name is required")


private String name;

@Size

Purpose:

Restricts the size (length for Strings, size for collections).

Example:

@Size(min = 8, message = "Password must be at least 8 characters")

private String password;

@Email

Purpose:

Ensures the field has a valid email format.

Example:

@Email(message = "Invalid email")

private String email;

@Min and @Max

Purpose:

Restrict a numeric value within minimum and maximum bounds.

Example:

@Min(18)

@Max(60)

private int age;

... (and so on for JPA, Security, AOP, Lifecycle, and Testing annotations)
