[hibernate-issues] [JIRA] (HV-1794) Optional containing a list of items is not being validated

Ihor Mochurad ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=5ccb2fc... ) *updated* an issue Hibernate Validator ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HV?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMTFiMTIwOTVlM... ) / Bug ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HV-1794?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMTFiMTIw... ) HV-1794 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HV-1794?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMTFiMTIw... ) Optional containing a list of items is not being validated ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HV-1794?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMTFiMTIw... ) Change By: Ihor Mochurad ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=5ccb2fc... ) As a user of Hibernate Validator, I would expect that a field like ` {noformat} private Optional<List<ConsumerGroupDTO>> consumerGroups; ` {noformat} where ` * ConsumerGroupDTO ` * is the following pojo: {code:java} @Data @SuperBuilder @NoArgsConstructor public class ConsumerGroupDTO extends ConsumerDTO { private @NotEmpty String consumerGroupId; private boolean simpleConsumerGroup; } {code} gets properly validated and constraint violation exception will be thrown in case ` * consumerGroupId ` * value will be set either to null or an empty string, instead validation does not kick-in for the list of pojos wrapped in the ` * Optional ` *. If the value of ` * Optional ` * is a pojo or a primitive, validation rules are working fine. I did a little bit more digging and tried to write my own value extractor: {code:java} public class OptionalListValueExtractor<T> implements ValueExtractor<@ExtractedValue(type = List.class) Optional<List<T>>> { @Override public void extractValues(@ExtractedValue(type = List.class) Optional<List<T>> originalValue, ValueReceiver valueReceiver) { valueReceiver.value(null, originalValue.orElse(null)); } } {code} but when I register this class as a service, I get an exception with the cause: {code:java} Caused by: javax.validation.valueextraction.ValueExtractorDefinitionException: HV000225: Only unbound wildcard type arguments are supported for the container type of the value extractor: com.solace.maas.event.core.validation.OptionalListValueExtractor. {code} It seems it doesn't like that I have a class type specified in my Optional. But without this generic, it is impossible to have the extractor working the right way. Anyways, I think it is either a bug in HV or a functional efficiency. Looking forward to your reply \ !
