/**
 * Message Codes Resolver that implements the default Web Flow 2.x algorithm. The default algorithm differs from the
 * Spring MVC {@link DefaultMessageCodesResolver} by appending the errorCode last instead of first. For
 * example: myBean.myProperty.required instead of required.myBean.myProperty.
 * 
 * Specifically:
 * 
 * Will create two message codes for an object error, in the following order:
 * 

 * 1.: objectName.errorCode
 * 
2.: errorCode
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * Will create four message codes for a field error, in the following order:
 * 

 * 1.: object name.field.rrorCode
 * 
2.: field.errorCode
 * 
3.: fieldType.errorCode
 * 
4.: errorCode
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * For example, in case of code "typeMismatch", object name "user", field "age" of type Integer:
 * 

 * 1. try "user.age.typeMismatch"
 * 
2. try "age.typeMismatch"
 * 
3. try "java.lang.Integer.typeMismatch"
 * 
4. try "typeMismatch"
 *
