kotlin and @Valid Spring annotation

As an alternative to Michal's answer, annotating the getter also works.

class SomeInfo(
    @get:NotNull
    @get:Pattern(regexp = Constraints.EMAIL_REGEX)
    var value: String
) {
    var id: Long? = null
}

The annoying part is, that not using @get: or @field: will annotate the constructor parameter. This is still valid kotlin code (so you don't get an error). It's just useless in these use cases.

Seems Spring needs these annotations to be applied to a field. But Kotlin will apply these annotations to the constructor parameter. Use field: specifier when applying an annotation to make it apply to a field. The following code should work fine for you.

class SomeInfo(
    @field:NotNull
    @field:Pattern(regexp = Constraints.EMAIL_REGEX)
    var value: String
) {
    var id: Long? = null
}
