Hi Laurent, This isn't correct indeed. I've fixed the behavior and added a test case as well (see attached) in SVN trunk.

Reading the method beforeHandle(Request request, Response response) I don't can't understand why, when an attribute is not required, it return a Status CLIENT_ERROR_BAD_REQUEST if the value is not found. But if the value is not required, you should not return a client error. Maybe in the beforeHandle(Request request, Response response) method, you should first test if the attribute is required or not, and then test accordingly. I hope I'm clear enough.
