title: Spring MVC - @Valid on list of beans in REST service
body: <p>In a Spring MVC REST service (json), I have a controller method like this one : </p>
  
  <pre><code>@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value = { "/doesntmatter" })
  @ResponseBody
  public List&lt;...&gt; myMethod(@Valid @RequestBody List&lt;MyBean&gt; request, BindingResult bindingResult) {
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Where the MyBean class has bean validation annotations.</p>
  
  <p>The validations don't seem to take place in this case, although it works well for other controllers.</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to encapsulate the list in a dto this that would change the json input.</p>
  
  <p>Why is there no validations for a list of beans ? What are the alternatives ?</p>
