Master Java Web Services and REST API with Spring Boot- Step 15 - Implementing Validations for RESTful Services

The video tutorial covers the implementation of validation in user services using the Java Validation API. It begins with an introduction to user services and the need for validation. The tutorial then demonstrates how to use annotations to add constraints to user data, such as ensuring a name has at least two characters and a birth date is in the past. It also addresses handling validation errors and customizing error messages for better client communication. The video concludes with an exploration of various features of the Java Validation API and its integration with Spring Boot.

• Data encryption

• User validation

• User authentication

• Data compression

Which annotation is used in Java Validation API to validate a user object?

• @Verify
