[Springframework-developer] BindUtils

[JP P. <jp....@ti...>]

Hi,

I would just to inform that I have a few days ago made a minor change in
web.BindUtils.

The bind and bindAndValidate methods didn't have the useful feature of
dealing with specific custom PropertyEditors. This feature was only in
BaseCommandController and its subClasses.

I added the feature with two goals:
- Strictly backward compatibility for the two exising methods including
the throws statement.
- Cohesiveness with the Controller version of the initBinder method.

In summary, simply a new signature is added for the two functions with a
new parameter 'initializer'. This parameter is an instance of the new
interface 'BindInitializer' providing an 'initBinder' callback method.
The new signatures throw ServletException like the Controller version.

Juergen, if you see anything with which you are unhappy, you can change
before the tomorrow's release.

Regards,
Jean-Pierre
