If you build simple json API, combining validation function which return 
validation error as a map and clojure.lang.ExceptionInfo can 
reduce intermediate error handling code.

(when-let [m (validate params)]
    (throw (clojure.lang.ExceptionInfo. "validation error" m)))

(defn wrap-validation-exception [handler]
  (fn [req]
    (try
      (handler req)
      (catch clojure.lang.ExceptionInfo e
        {:status 400
         :headers {"Content-Type" "application/json"}
         :body (some-json-generator (.getData e))}))))
