title: How to Validate HttpServletRequest using @Valid annotation?
body: <p>I am currently working on a rest api and I need to validate the HttpServletRequest object which my Controller method receives. Is there a way to validate it using the @Valid annotation? I need to check the content type, request body? I know we can use the @Valid annotation to validate user defined classes. Can we use the same for HttpServletRequest Class? If not what other options do i have?</p>
  
  <p>thanks,
