[Springframework-developer] web flow: why is there a "setupForm" method on FormAction

[Steven D. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi guys,

What are the use cases that would justify the "setupForm" method on
FormAction? Is the "bindAndValidate" method not sufficient? I can
understand some page flows would need a "setupform" method, for
example to further initialise the form object by an action bean. But
isn't this a anti-pattern?
