/**
* A thin Struts ActionForm adapter that delegates to Spring's more complete
* and advanced data binder and Errors object underneath the covers to bind
* to POJOs and manage rejected values.
*
* Exposes Spring-managed errors to the standard Struts view tags, through
* exposing a corresponding Struts ActionMessages object as request attribute.
* Also exposes current field values in a Struts-compliant fashion, including
* rejected values (which Spring's binding keeps even for non-String fields).
*
*
Consequently, Struts views can be written in a completely traditional
* fashion (with standard html:form, html:errors, etc),
* seamlessly accessing a Spring-bound POJO form object underneath.
*
*
Note this ActionForm is designed explicitly for use in request scope.
* It expects to receive an expose call from the Action, passing
* in the Errors object to expose plus the current HttpServletRequest.
*
*
Example definition in struts-config.xml:
*
*
* <form-beans>
* <form-bean name="actionForm" type="org.springframework.web.struts.SpringBindingActionForm"/>
* </form-beans>
*
* Example code in a custom Struts Action:
*
*
* public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping actionMapping, ActionForm actionForm, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
* SpringBindingActionForm form = (SpringBindingActionForm) actionForm;
* MyPojoBean bean = ...;
* ServletRequestDataBinder binder = new ServletRequestDataBinder(bean, "myPojo");
* binder.bind(request);
* form.expose(binder.getBindingResult(), request);
* return actionMapping.findForward("success");
* }
*
* This class is compatible with both Struts 1.2.x and Struts 1.1.
* On Struts 1.2, default messages registered with Spring binding errors
* are exposed when none of the error codes could be resolved.
* On Struts 1.1, this is not possible due to a limitation in the Struts
* message facility; hence, we expose the plain default error code there.
