Validation of JSON Object With @Valid and @Requestbody in SpringBoot-CodePudding

I am trying to validate a JSON body within a post method. Here is a sample code:

@PostMapping(value = "GetInfo")
public ResponseEntity<Person> getOffers(@Valid @RequestBody InfoRequest infoRequest) {
   //generate person response according to inforequest JSON.
   Person person = PersonGenerator.getOffers(infoRequest);
   return new ResponseEntity<>(person, HttpStatus.OK);
}

When I send JSON body to get info (for ex: Name and Age) I want the program to throw an error if some extra fields are entered that are not needed for the Person class. As an example in below ExtraField. But @RequestBody and @Valid annotations are just checking for fields that have a match. Since it is filtered (afaik in this case ExtraField is filtered) I can't get full JSON to analyze infoRequest to find if any extra information was sent.

{
    "Name": "sample",
    "Age": "sample",
    "ExtraField": "prevent",
}

I know there are some libraries to check JSON files. But first I have to know what is coming :). If there is no annotation to see extra fields entered. How can I extract and analyze JSON file*

Note: Changing parameter type infoRequest as String is not an option for security purposes.

CodePudding user response：

By default, the Spring Boot configuration will disables Jackson DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES feature. One possible solution could be enabling it again in you application.yml file as follows:

spring.jackson.deserialization.fail-on-unknown-properties=true

This will change the behaviour for Jackson ObjectMapper if you want finer-grained configuration you might use @JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = false) as follows:

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = false)
public class InfoRequest {
    (...)
}
