Does RestTemplate.exchange respect validation annotations of the resonseType class?

Question

In code, i call make a request via RestTemplate.exchange like this

ResponseEntity<LocationDataCarrierDTO> response = myRestTemplate.exchange(
            uri,
            HttpMethod.GET,
            request,
            LocationDataCarrierDTO.class);

And the DTO class looks like this

@Data
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class LocationDataCarrierDTO {

    @NotNull
    private GpsDTO gpsData;
}

Is the @NotNull-Validation annotation taken into account by exchange? Aka: does the call to exchange throw an exception if gpsData is NULL?

no, validation annotation will not be taken into account. you can however integrate the validation with RestTemplate, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45333587/is-there-a-way-to-integrate-java-bean-validation-api-with-spring-resttemplate — MarcoLucidi, Aug 12 '20 at 17:12

@Validated to your service class, @Valid for the method you are calling, then validation will work
