Subclass of ModelMap that implements the Model interface. Java 5 specific like the Model interface itself. 
This is an implementation class exposed to handler methods by Spring MVC, typically via a declaration of the Model interface. There is no need to build it within user code; a plain ModelMap or even a just a regular Map with String keys will be good enough to return a user model.
