Description
Currently implementation of the @validateSchema operator demands the utilization of the requestBodyProcessor. In order to validate other variables, such as the RESPONSE_BOYD, it is necessary to de-attach those two functionalities or provide a way to run the "requestBodyProcessor" in the response body.

Research direction
Start by tracing the @validateSchema operator and the requestBodyProcessor implementation, then examine how RESPONSE_BOYD is handled. Define whether validation should be detached from request-body parsing or whether the processor should support response bodies; done means the chosen behavior is implemented and validated for response-body variables.
