Spring WebFlux has built-in xref:core/validation/validator.adoc[Validation] support for
Spring MVC has built-in xref:core/validation/validator.adoc[Validation] support for
`@RequestMapping` methods, including the option to use
xref:core/validation/beanvalidation.adoc[Java Bean Validation].
The validation support works on two levels.
First, method parameters such as
First, resolvers for
xref:web/webflux/controller/ann-methods/modelattrib-method-args.adoc[@ModelAttribute],
xref:web/webflux/controller/ann-methods/requestbody.adoc[@RequestBody], and
xref:web/webflux/controller/ann-methods/multipart-forms.adoc[@RequestPart] do perform
validation if annotated with Jakarta's `@Valid` or Spring's `@Validated` annotation, and
raise `MethodArgumentNotValidException` in case of validation errors. If you want to handle
the errors in the controller method instead, you can declare an `Errors` or `BindingResult`
method parameter immediately after the validated parameter.
xref:web/webflux/controller/ann-methods/multipart-forms.adoc[@RequestPart] method
parameters perform validation if the parameter has Jakarta's `@Valid` or Spring's
`@Validated` annotation, and raise `MethodArgumentNotValidException` if necessary.
Alternatively, you can handle the errors in the controller method by adding an
`Errors` or `BindingResult` method parameter immediately after the validated one.
Second, if {bean-validation-site}[Java Bean Validation] is present _AND_ other method
parameters, e.g. `@RequestHeader`, `@RequestParam`, `@PathVariable` have `@Constraint`
annotations, then method validation is applied to all method arguments, raising
`HandlerMethodValidationException` in case of validation errors. You can still declare an
`Errors` or `BindingResult` after an `@Valid` method parameter, and handle validation
errors within the controller method, as long as there are no validation errors on other
method arguments.
Second, if {bean-validation-site}[Java Bean Validation] is present _AND_ any method
parameter has `@Constraint` annotations, then method validation is applied instead,
raising `HandlerMethodValidationException` if necessary. For this case you can still add
an `Errors` or `BindingResult` method parameter to handle validation errors within the
controller method, but if other method arguments have validation errors then
`HandlerMethodValidationException` is raised instead. Method validation can apply
to the return value if the method is annotated with `@Valid` or with `@Constraint`
annotations.
You can configure a `Validator` globally through the
xref:web/webflux/config.adoc#webflux-config-validation[WebMvc config], or locally
