ChatClient.CallResponseSpec.entity() mapping LLM JSON to a record (TicketTriage, with a real enum-constrained Priority field), a List<ActionItem>, and a Map<String,Object> -- every case driven by a hand-written ScriptedChatModel with no live LLM anywhere. Key findings, all confirmed by disassembling spring-ai-client-chat-2.0.1.jar and spring-ai-model-2.0.1.jar rather than trusting docs: - StructuredOutputValidationAdvisor lives in org.springframework.ai.chat.client.advisor, in the same spring-ai-client-chat artifact as ToolCallingAdvisor -- unlike the tool-calling module's Tool Search Advisor pieces, it needs no separate Maven Central artifact or version pin. - entity(Class, spec -> spec.validateSchema()) is sugar: DefaultCallResponseSpec.resolveAdvisorChain builds a real StructuredOutputValidationAdvisor from the same JSON schema BeanOutputConverter uses to parse the response, and pushes it onto the advisor chain for that one call. - The schema/format instructions are baked into the user message once, up front, by entity() itself, before the advisor chain runs at all. A validation retry's only contribution is one appended line: "Output JSON validation failed because of: <the real schema-validator error>" -- each retry re-augments the ORIGINAL request, not the previous attempt's, so corrections never stack. - Default maxRepeatAttempts is 3 (4 total attempts); default advisorOrder is 2147481647, near Ordered.LOWEST_PRECEDENCE. - Exhausting every retry does NOT throw -- adviseCall's loop just returns the last (still invalid) response to the caller. Plain entity() with no validation, by contrast, throws immediately on the same bad JSON, since BeanOutputConverter.convert() is a separate Jackson deserialization step with no retry loop of its own. Both behaviors are captured from real runs (output/02, output/06). - Spring AI 2.0's JSON stack is Jackson 3 (tools.jackson.databind), not classic com.fasterxml.jackson -- visible directly in every one of this advisor's constructor and field signatures.
