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

[Erwin V. <erw...@er...>]

It's important when you need to register property editors with the data 
binder to make the <spring:bind> tag work when the form is first rendered. 
Look at the SimpleFormController for more info.

Also look at the BirthDate sample app for an actual example.
