Here is how I did it.  I think you are missing @ModelAttribute

Resolved. But you are not going to believe it; coping code from samples in the Internet, I had to use @Valid  and searching I discover that I needed "javax.validation.Valid",  searching how to get it with Maven I ended using

<dependency>
<groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
<artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
<version>2.0.1.Final</version>
</dependency>

and I had no compilation errors. Keeping looking at samples in the Internet I found and application that wasn't using the above and so far, it is not clear to me how is it doing it. However, I found a page clarifying that earlier, "spring-boot-starter-web" supported "javax.validation.Valid", but that had been removed and the dependency to be used is

<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-validation</artifactId>
</dependency> <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.hamcrest/java-hamcrest -->

Well, my application works now and I thank you all and bid you well.

Hi, you may find this stackoverflow thread helpful https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47658774/bindingresult-always-false-spring-mvc
As someone suggested, add hibernate-validator dependency to your pom.

Hi, Alejandro,
In spring-boot-starter-web artifact , there is a hibernate-validator that does the validation.

You should use this dependency
