Description

I have a spec that contains a repsonse that contains a json object with a nullable required field (see below). When I use the spring generator with useBeanValidation: true and openApiNullable: true (they are enabled per default) it produces a model that contains the following:

public class Config {
  @JsonProperty("endpoint")
  private JsonNullable<String> endpoint = JsonNullable.undefined();

  public Config endpoint(String endpoint) {
    this.endpoint = JsonNullable.of(endpoint);
    return this;
  }

  @ApiModelProperty(required = true, value = "")
  @NotNull
  public JsonNullable<String> getEndpoint() {
    return endpoint;
  }

  public void setEndpoint(JsonNullable<String> endpoint) {
    this.endpoint = endpoint;
}

When I create an instance of this model where the field endpoint is null and try to validate it, the validator says it is invalid because endpoint must not be null:

var config = new Config().setEndpoint(null);
var validator = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory().getValidator();
var validationResult = validator.validate(config);

I think this happens because JsonNullable is implemented in a way that the validation constraint is applied to the wrapped value and not to the JsonNullable object itself (see https://github.com/OpenAPITools/jackson-databind-nullable)

openapi-generator version

5.3.1
I cannot upgrade to 5.4.0 because of #11506

Using the spring generator with useBeanValidation: true and openApiNullable: true

Suggest a fix

Do not apply @NotNull annotation to getters that return a JsonNullable object.
