+Applications must handle both `MethodArgumentNotValidException` and
+`HandlerMethodValidationException` as either may be raised depending on the controller
 method signature. The two exceptions, however are designed to be very similar, and can be
 handled with almost identical code. The main difference is that the former is for a single
 object while the latter is for a list of method parameters.
