Automatic JSR-303 integration [DATAREST-186]

Rob Winch opened DATAREST-186 and commented

Spring MVC provides a validator named mvcValidator out of the box. It would be nice if this validator would automatically be integrated with Spring Data. This would provide automatic integration with JSR-303 annotations. Currently the easiest way I have found to do this is using something similar to the following:

@Bean
public Validator beforeCreateJsrValidator(@Qualifier("mvcValidator") Validator validator) {
    return validator;
}

It would be really cool if we could support Validation Group's to trigger which events (i.e. beforeCreate, beforeSave, etc) the annotations are used on. You can refer to SPR-6373 for details on Spring's integration with validation groups
