Resolve @ModelAttribute annotated method arguments and handle return values from @ModelAttribute annotated methods.

Model attributes are obtained from the model or created with a default constructor (and then added to the model). Once created the attribute is populated via data binding to Servlet request parameters. Validation may be applied if the argument is annotated with @javax.validation.Valid. or Spring's own @org.springframework.validation.annotation.Validated.

When this handler is created with annotationNotRequired=true any non-simple type argument and return value is regarded as a model attribute with or without the presence of an @ModelAttribute.

Extension point to create the model attribute if not found in the model, with subsequent parameter binding through bean properties (unless suppressed).

The default implementation typically uses the unique public no-arg constructor if available but also handles a "primary constructor" approach for data classes: It understands the JavaBeans ConstructorProperties annotation as well as runtime-retained parameter names in the bytecode, associating request parameters with constructor arguments by name. If no such constructor is found, the default constructor will be used (even if not public), assuming subsequent bean property bindings through setter methods.

Params:
  • attributeName – the name of the attribute (never null)
  • parameter – the method parameter declaration
  • binderFactory – for creating WebDataBinder instance
  • webRequest – the current request
Throws:
  • BindException – in case of constructor argument binding failure
  • Exception – in case of constructor invocation failure
