Validators (like NotNull etc) to be enabled during direct invoke.

[kingkong-AI]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Validators (like NotNull etc) don't work through direct invoke. When using direct invoke on a controller for the DTO consisting of Validations, the validations are not processed and even if they don't satisfy, calls are successful, which is not ideal.

Example:

DTO:

public class UserDto {

    private String id;

    @NotEmpty
    @Size(min=1, message = "User name must be greater than 1 characters")
    private String name;

    @Email(message = "Invalid Email")
    private String email;

    @NotBlank
    @Pattern(regexp = "^(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[@#$%^&+=!])(?=\\S+$).{5,20}$",
            message = "Password must be 5 to 20 characters long, "
                    + "contain at least one digit, one lowercase letter, "
                    + "one uppercase letter, and one special character "
                    + "from @#$%^&+=!")
    private String password;

    @NotNull
    @Positive(message = "Value must be positive")
    @Max(120)
    private int age;

Controller:

    @PostMapping
    public Mono<UserDto> createUser(@Valid @RequestBody UserDto userDto) {
        return userService.createUser(userDto);
    }

Describe the solution you'd like

A solution where: All the validator annotations are processed properly even with direct invoke is expected, so that correct entries are populated in the database even with direct invoke.
