Spring BindException raised instead of MethodArgumentNotValidException subclass

In our application we override handleBindException from ResponseEntityExceptionHandler to improve the output of error message.

    @Override
    protected ResponseEntity<Object> handleBindException(
            BindException ex, HttpHeaders headers, HttpStatusCode status, WebRequest request) {
        final List<String> errors = new ArrayList<String>();

        for (final FieldError error : ex.getBindingResult().getFieldErrors()) {
            errors.add(error.getField() + " has an invalid value: " + error.getRejectedValue());
        }

        for (final ObjectError error : ex.getBindingResult().getGlobalErrors()) {
            errors.add(error.getObjectName() + ": " + error.getDefaultMessage());
        }

        apiError.setStatus(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST);
        apiError.setMessage(errors.toString());
        apiError.generateDate();

        return handleExceptionInternal(ex, apiError, headers, apiError.getStatus(), request);
    }

Since Spring 6.0 the method is marked as deprecated, removal is planned for 6.1. I tried to override handleMethodArgumentNotValid Method, but that has no impact. For example if several arguments are not valid, then a BindException is thrown instead How can I deal with this problem, so that my solution works with the next upgrade?

It looks like there is one more place in ModelAttributeMethodProcessor that wasn't switched to use MethodArgumentNotValidException as part of #29251. Could you confirm that the BindException you're seeing is raised from here?

Yes I can confirm that the BindException is initiated there!
