+/**
+ * Static dispatcher for the optional Jakarta Bean Validation 3.x integration.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Acts as a thin shim between Juneau's REST argument resolvers ({@code
ContentArg}, {@code FormDataArg},
+ * {@code RequestBeanArg}) and the {@code jakarta.validation.Validator}
engine. Per the package-level contract
+ * (see {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.validation package overview}),
<b>validation is off by default and never
+ * runs automatically</b>: callers query {@link
#isValidationRequested(ParameterInfo)} once at arg-resolver
+ * construction time, then conditionally invoke {@link #validate(Object,
BeanStore)} per request only when an
+ * explicit {@code @jakarta.validation.Valid} (or equivalent) marker is
present.
+ *
+ * <h5 class='topic'>Validator resolution order</h5>
+ * <ol>
+ * <li>A user-supplied {@code Validator} bean visible from the supplied
{@link BeanStore} — typically
+ * contributed via a {@code @Bean public Validator validator()}
factory on a {@code @Rest}-annotated
+ * resource. This is the recommended path when the application
needs custom message interpolators,
+ * group sequences, or constraint-validator factories.
+ * <li>A lazily-built JVM-wide default obtained from
+ * {@link Validation#buildDefaultValidatorFactory()}. Cached after
the first successful build so the
+ * factory cost is paid at most once per JVM.
+ * <li>{@code null} — signals graceful degradation when neither a
bean-store entry nor a runtime
+ * provider is available. {@link #validate(Object, BeanStore)}
returns the input bean unchanged in this
+ * case and logs a single {@code WARNING} per JVM so misconfigured
deployments are visible without
+ * flooding the log.
+ * </ol>
+ *
+ * <h5 class='topic'>Why static dispatch?</h5>
+ * <p>
+ * Each REST argument resolver is built once per {@code @RestOp} method at
servlet startup, then invoked on
+ * every request. By keeping the validator lookup off the arg-resolver
constructor and inside this class's
+ * cached static accessor, the cost of locating the {@code Validator} is paid
once per JVM rather than once
+ * per request — and resolvers for {@code @RestOp} methods that never
opt in pay nothing at all (the
+ * static initializer doesn't run until the first call to {@link
#validate(Object, BeanStore)}).

Validation 3.x</a>
+ * integration for {@code juneau-rest-server} — declarative validation
of request beans via
+ * {@code jakarta.validation.constraints.*} annotations.
+ *
+ * <h5 class='topic'>Off by default — opt in per parameter</h5>
+ * <p>
+ * Validation is <b>off by default and never runs automatically</b>. A {@link
org.apache.juneau.rest.validation.BeanValidator}
+ * is only constructed when an arg resolver sees a {@code
@jakarta.validation.Valid} (or Spring
+ * {@code @org.springframework.validation.annotation.Validated}) annotation on
a {@code @Content}, {@code @FormData},
+ * or {@code @Request}-bound parameter. Without that annotation:
+ * <ul class='spaced-list'>
+ * <li>No {@code jakarta.validation.Validator} is created.
+ * <li>No constraint check is invoked.
+ * <li>No runtime cost is paid — the request bean flows through the
unmodified Juneau pipeline as if
+ * Jakarta Validation were not on the classpath at all.
+ * </ul>
+ * <p>
+ * There is no global "turn on validation for the whole resource"
switch — opt-in is per-parameter
+ * via {@code @Valid}. This is a deliberate behavior difference from Spring
MVC (which auto-validates beans whose
+ * type carries constraint annotations) and from the standard Jakarta cascade
rules.
+ *
+ * <h5 class='topic'>Dependency stance</h5>
+ * <p>
+ * {@code juneau-rest-server} declares {@code
jakarta.validation:jakarta.validation-api} in {@code provided}
+ * scope. A concrete provider (e.g. {@code
org.hibernate.validator:hibernate-validator}) is <b>not</b> bundled
+ * and must be added by the consumer when they want validation to actually
run. When the provider is missing at
+ * runtime, the integration degrades to a no-op — the request bean is
returned unmodified and a warning is
+ * logged on first attempted use.
+ *
+ * <h5 class='topic'>Failure handling</h5>
+ * <p>
+ * A constraint violation throws {@link
org.apache.juneau.rest.validation.ValidationException} (a 400 Bad Request
+ * subclass) carrying the list of {@link
org.apache.juneau.rest.validation.ValidationViolation} details. The
+ * response body shape depends on whether RFC 7807 problem-details mode is
enabled on the resource:
+ * <ul class='spaced-list'>
+ * <li><b>Problem-details ON</b> — {@code application/problem+json}
with the standard {@code status} /
+ * {@code title} / {@code detail} members plus an {@code errors[]}
extension array.
+ * <li><b>Problem-details OFF (default)</b> — {@code
application/json} with a simple
