/**
* Annotation which indicates that a method parameter should be bound to a web
* request parameter.
*
* Supported for annotated handler methods in Servlet and Portlet environments.
*
*
If the method parameter type is {@link Map} and a request parameter name
* is specified, then the request parameter value is converted to a {@link Map}
* assuming an appropriate conversion strategy is available.
*
*
If the method parameter is {@link java.util.Map Map<String, String>} or
* and a parameter name is not specified, then the map parameter is populated
* with all request parameter names and values.
