/**
 * Special {@link org.springframework.validation.DataBinder} to perform data binding
 * from servlet request parameters to JavaBeans, including support for multipart files.
 *
 * <p>See the DataBinder/WebDataBinder superclasses for customization options,
 * which include specifying allowed/required fields, and registering custom
 * property editors.
 *
 * <p>Used by Spring Web MVC's BaseCommandController and MultiActionController.
 * Note that BaseCommandController and its subclasses allow for easy customization
 * of the binder instances that they use through overriding <code>initBinder.
 *
 * <p>Can also be used for manual data binding in custom web controllers:
 * for example, in a plain Controller implementation or in a MultiActionController
 * handler method. Simply instantiate a ServletRequestDataBinder for each binding
 * process, and invoke <code>bind with the current ServletRequest as argument:
 *
 * <pre class="code">
 * MyBean myBean = new MyBean();
 * // apply binder to custom target object
 * ServletRequestDataBinder binder = new ServletRequestDataBinder(myBean);
 * // register custom editors, if desired
 * binder.registerCustomEditor(...);
 * // trigger actual binding of request parameters
 * binder.bind(request);
 * // optionally evaluate binding errors
 * Errors errors = binder.getErrors();
 * ...</pre>
