How to enable @PathVariable validation?

Support
#1

Hi,
For the @RequestBody validation I use classes from javax.validation.*.
But these annotations seem to be ignored when applied to @PathVariable annotated controller method arguments. Most of the tutorials suggest importing org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-validation. But after adding this dependency, I get the following error message on startup:

Hello,

Considering that @RequestBody validation works, it seems that no additional importing needed.

The problem you described may be caused by the absence of annotation org.springframework.validation.annotation.Validated on the controller class.

There is an example for Jmix 1.3.5 project created from the “REST Service Application” template:

controller:

import javax.validation.constraints.Size;

import org.springframework.http.HttpHeaders;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.validation.annotation.Validated;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/test")
@Validated
public class TestController {
    @GetMapping("/tpv/{p}")
    public ResponseEntity<String> tpv(@PathVariable @Size(min = 3, max = 5) String p) {
        return ResponseEntity
                .status(HttpStatus.OK)
                .body("param was: " + p);
    }
}

build.gradle (nothing has been changed):

plugins {
    id 'io.jmix' version '1.5.3'
    id 'java'
}

apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'

jmix {
    bomVersion = '1.5.3'
}

group = 'com.company'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
        url 'https://nexus.jmix.io/repository/public'
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'io.jmix.core:jmix-core-starter'
    implementation 'io.jmix.data:jmix-eclipselink-starter'
    implementation('io.jmix.rest:jmix-rest-starter')
    implementation 'io.jmix.security:jmix-security-starter'
    implementation 'io.jmix.security:jmix-security-data-starter'
    implementation('io.jmix.security:jmix-security-oauth2-starter')
    implementation 'io.jmix.localfs:jmix-localfs-starter'

    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'

    runtimeOnly 'org.hsqldb:hsqldb'

    testImplementation('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test') {
        exclude group: 'org.junit.vintage', module: 'junit-vintage-engine'
    }
}

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

If adding @Validated annotation to the controller and including dependencies above did not help, please provide a minimal reproducible example, so I could investigate what went wrong.

Regards,
Dmitry
