Disabling Spring from accepting POST params as query params

Question

I have a controller as following:

@RequestMapping(path = "validate", method = POST, consumes = MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED_VALUE, produces = APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8_VALUE) public ResponseEntity<Object> validate(@Valid @ModelAttribute ValidationRequest request) { }

ValidationRequest is a POJO with couple of fields.

With this setup, I expect this method to accept POST parameters passed only through body of request. However, if we make a POST request like http://localhost:8080/validate?param1=a&param2=b without any body, it still accepts it. I have marked all of fields inside ValidationRequest as mandatory.

Any suggestions? Am I missing something here?

Post your POJO ValidationRequest as well

Perhaps try @RequestBody instead of @ModelAttribute.

you can use @PathParam.

@POST @Path("/validate/{param1}/{param2}") @Consumes({ "application/json", "text/plain" }) @Produces({ "application/json" }) public ResponseEntity<Object> validate(@Valid @ModelAttribute ValidationRequest request, @PathParam("param1") String param1, @PathParam("param2") String param2) { .................. }
