Custom validation based on HTTP methods

I'm writing a Java based, Spring REST web service. I'm wondering if there is a way to exclude some object validations for HTTP PATCH.

Basically, what I need is to validate the same object differently for HTTP POST and for the HTTP PATCH. For example, when HTTP POST request is received i need to include @NotNull validation for fields, HTTP PATCH doesn't need to check if field is null.

You can use Bean Validation using groups.

@NotNull(groups=Group1.class)
private String field;

@NotNull(groups=Group2.class)
private String field;

You can see more here.
