@Valid is not getting invoked if I use @PreAuthorize method level security

Question

Following is a code snippet from my controller:

@RestController
@RequestMapping(Constants.REST_CONTROLLER_ENDPOINT)
class ProductRestController {

private final          


        

Answer 1

Turns out that the @InitBinder method needs to be public for the validation to be invoked:

@InitBinder
public void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder) {
binder.setValidator(productValidator);
}
