Spring Boot List of Object Bean Validation

I have a Bean,

@Data
@NoArgsConstructor
public final class PersonRequest {

    @NotNull
    @JsonProperty("nameList")
    private List<Person> nameList;

   

}

and Person POJO,

@Data
    public class Sensor {

    @NotNull
    @JsonProperty("id")
    private int id;

    @NotNull
    @JsonProperty("name")
    @Min(1)
    private String name;

}

I am sending JSON request and added @Valid in my controller. I am sending request as below,


{
    "nameList": [
        {
            "id": 1,
            "name": "John"
        },
        {
            "id": 2,
            "name": "Alex"
        }
    ]
}

When i send request without id and name not validating. I tried using @Valid private List<Person> nameList; also but no luck. I use Spring boot 2.3.2.

UPDATED:

when i add one more attribute, this also say bad request when i pass date in request.

    @NotNull
    @JsonProperty("startTime")
    @DateTimeFormat(pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss", iso = 
                              DateTimeFormat.ISO.DATE_TIME)
    @Valid
    private LocalDateTime startTime;

The @Valid annotation in your controller triggers the validation of the PersonRequest object, passed as request body. To validate also the Person objects contained in PersonRequest, you need to annotate that field with @Valid too.

@Data
@NoArgsConstructor
public final class PersonRequest {

    @NotNull
    @JsonProperty("nameList")
    @Valid
    private List<Person> nameList;
}
