Support JSR 303 for REST [SPR-6928]

[spring-projects-issues]

Eberhard Wolff opened SPR-6928 and commented

JSR 303 validation is not supported for REST methods. It would be nice if you could annotate a controller method with @Valid. This would validate the @RequestBody parameter and return 400 (bad request). If the resulting model contains invalid objects a 500 (internal server error) should be returned.

This looks like a dup of #11375.

A RequestBodyNotValidException is raised and a 400 error returned as a result of validation errors. A summary of the errors is included in the response error message. See DefaultHandlerExceptionResolver for details.
