MethodValidationInterceptor support for Mono and Flux method parameters

[spring-projects-issues]

Sanjaya Kumar Patel opened SPR-16234 and commented

Traditionally (non-reactive), we had been doing method parameter validation as below:

@Validated
@Service
public class FooService

@Validated(SignUpValidation.class)
public void signup(@Valid UserCommand userCommand) {

    ...
}

In a reactive world, this might look like:

@Validated
@Service
public class FooService

@Validated(SignUpValidation.class)
public Mono<Void> signup(@Valid Mono<UserCommand> userCommand) {

    ...
}

But this is not working. So, in summary:

1. Support for Mono and Flux is missing when using MethodValidationPostProcessor
2. Also need support for validation groups (See @Validated(SignUpValidation.class) above)

Note that @Valid is supported in WebFlux in combination with reactive types. This ticket I believe is mainly for MethodValidationPostProcessor and use of method-level Validated.

Any update on that?
