General interface that represents binding results. Extends the interface for error registration capabilities, allowing for a Validator to be applied, and adds binding-specific analysis and model building. 
Serves as result holder for a DataBinder, obtained via the DataBinder.getBindingResult() method. BindingResult implementations can also be used directly, for example to invoke a Validator on it (e.g. as part of a unit test).

Return a model Map for the obtained state, exposing a BindingResult instance as 'MODEL_KEY_PREFIX + objectName' and the object itself as 'objectName'. 
Note that the Map is constructed every time you're calling this method.
Adding things to the map and then re-calling this method will not work.
The attributes in the model Map returned by this method are usually included in the ModelAndView for a form view that uses Spring's bind tag in a JSP, which needs access to the BindingResult instance. Spring's pre-built form controllers will do this for you when rendering a form view. When building the ModelAndView instance yourself, you need to include the attributes from the model Map returned by this method.
