/**
 * Interceptor for method validation processing.
 *
 * Allows to override the default Jersey behaviour. By default, the Jersey runtime throws a
 * {@link jakarta.validation.ValidationException} or one of its subclasses,
 * that gets mapped to a HTTP 400 response, if any validation issues occur. In such case
 * the actual resource method does not get invoked at all.
 * 
 * Validation interceptor implementation allows to e.g. swallow the {@link ConstraintViolationException}
 * and handle the validation issues in the resource method. It is also possible to tweak
 * validated components. This could be utilized in case of proxied resources,
 * when field validation is not possible on a dynamic proxy, and the validator requires
 * the original delegated instance.
 * 
 * 
 * Each validation interceptor implementation must invoke proceed
 * method on provided interceptor context as part of interception processing.
