    public class ServletRequestDataBinder

extends WebDataBinder

Special `DataBinder` to perform data binding from servlet request parameters to JavaBeans, including support for multipart files.

See the DataBinder/WebDataBinder superclasses for customization options, which include specifying allowed/required fields, and registering custom property editors.

Used by Spring Web MVC's BaseCommandController and MultiActionController. Note that BaseCommandController and its subclasses allow for easy customization of the binder instances that they use through overriding `initBinder`.

Can also be used for manual data binding in custom web controllers: for example, in a plain Controller implementation or in a MultiActionController handler method. Simply instantiate a ServletRequestDataBinder for each binding process, and invoke `bind` with the current ServletRequest as argument:

     MyBean myBean = new MyBean();
     // apply binder to custom target object
     ServletRequestDataBinder binder = new ServletRequestDataBinder(myBean);
     // register custom editors, if desired
     binder.registerCustomEditor(...);
     // trigger actual binding of request parameters
     binder.bind(request);
     // optionally evaluate binding errors
     Errors errors = binder.getErrors();
     ...

Constructor Detail

### ServletRequestDataBinder

    public ServletRequestDataBinder(Object target)

  Create a new ServletRequestDataBinder instance, with default object name.

  Parameters:
    `target` - the target object to bind onto (or `null` if the binder is just used to convert a plain parameter value)
  See Also:
    `DataBinder.DEFAULT_OBJECT_NAME`

### ServletRequestDataBinder

    public ServletRequestDataBinder(Object target,
                                    String objectName)

  Create a new ServletRequestDataBinder instance.

  Parameters:
    `target` - the target object to bind onto (or `null` if the binder is just used to convert a plain parameter value)
    `objectName` - the name of the target object

Method Detail

### bind

    public void bind(ServletRequest request)

  Bind the parameters of the given request to this binder's target, also binding multipart files in case of a multipart request.

  This call can create field errors, representing basic binding errors like a required field (code "required"), or type mismatch between value and bean property (code "typeMismatch").

  Multipart files are bound via their parameter name, just like normal HTTP parameters: i.e. "uploadedFile" to an "uploadedFile" bean property, invoking a "setUploadedFile" setter method.

  The type of the target property for a multipart file can be MultipartFile, byte[], or String. The latter two receive the contents of the uploaded file; all metadata like original file name, content type, etc are lost in those cases.

  Parameters:
    `request` - request with parameters to bind (can be multipart)
  See Also:
    `MultipartHttpServletRequest`, `MultipartFile`, `WebDataBinder.bindMultipartFiles(java.util.Map, org.springframework.beans.MutablePropertyValues)`, `DataBinder.bind(org.springframework.beans.PropertyValues)`

### closeNoCatch

    public void closeNoCatch()
                      throws ServletRequestBindingException

  Treats errors as fatal.

  Use this method only if it's an error if the input isn't valid. This might be appropriate if all input is from dropdowns, for example.

  Throws:
    `ServletRequestBindingException` - subclass of ServletException on any binding problem
