/**
 * <p>Controller implementation which creates an object (the command object) on
 * receipt of a request and attempts to populate this object with request parameters.</p>
 *
 * <p>This controller is the base for all controllers wishing to populate
 * JavaBeans based on request parameters, validate the content of such
 * JavaBeans using {@link Validator Validators} and use custom editors (in the form of
 * {@link java.beans.PropertyEditor PropertyEditors}) to transform 
 * objects into strings and vice versa, for example. Three notions are mentioned here:</p>
 *
 * <p><b>Command class:</b><br>
 * An instance of the command class will be created for each request and populated
 * with request parameters. A command class can basically be any Java class; the only
 * requirement is a no-arg constructor. The command class should preferably be a
 * JavaBean in order to be able to populate bean properties with request parameters.</p>
 *
 * <p><b>Populating using request parameters and PropertyEditors:</b><br>
 * Upon receiving a request, any BaseCommandController will attempt to fill the
 * command object using the request parameters. This is done using the typical
 * and well-known JavaBeans property notation. When a request parameter named
 * <code>'firstName'</code> exists, the framework will attempt to call 
 * <code>setFirstName([value])</code> passing the value of the parameter. Nested properties
 * are of course supported. For instance a parameter named <code>'address.city'</code>
 * will result in a <code>getAddress().setCity([value])</code> call on the
 * command class.</p>
 *
 * <p>It's important to realize that you are not limited to String arguments in
 * your JavaBeans. Using the PropertyEditor-notion as supplied by the
 * java.beans package, you will be able to transform Strings to Objects and
 * the other way around. For instance <code>setLocale(Locale loc)</code> is
 * perfectly possible for a request parameter named <code>locale</code> having
 * a value of <code>en</code>, as long as you register the appropriate
 * PropertyEditor in the Controller (see {@link #initBinder initBinder()}
 * for more information on that matter).</p>
 *
 * <p><b>Validators:</b>
 * After the controller has successfully populated the command object with
 * parameters from the request, it will use any configured validators to
 * validate the object. Validation results will be put in a
 * {@link org.springframework.validation.Errors Errors} object which can be
 * used in a View to render any input problems.</p>
 *
 * <p><b><a name="workflow">Workflow
 * (<a href="AbstractController.html#workflow">and that defined by superclass</a>):</b><br>
 * Since this class is an abstract base class for more specific implementation,
 * it does not override the <code>handleRequestInternal()</code> methods and also has no
 * actual workflow. Implementing classes like
 * {@link AbstractFormController AbstractFormController},
 * {@link AbstractCommandController AbstractCommandController},
 * {@link SimpleFormController SimpleFormController} and
 * {@link AbstractWizardFormController AbstractWizardFormController}
 * provide actual functionality and workflow.
 * More information on workflow performed by superclasses can be found
 * <a href="AbstractController.html#workflow">here</a>.</p>
 *
 * <p><b><a name="config">Exposed configuration properties</a>
 * (<a href="AbstractController.html#config">and those defined by superclass</a>):</b><br>
 * <table border="1">
 *  <tr>
 *      <td><b>name</b></th>

	/**
	 * Unlike the Servlet version of these classes, we have to deal with the
	 * two-phase nature of the porlet request. To do this, we need to pass
	 * forward the command object and the bind/validation errors that occured
	 * on the command object from the action phase to the render phase.
	 * The only direct way to pass things forward and preserve them for each
	 * render request is through render parameters, but these are limited to
	 * String objects and we need to pass more complicated objects. The only
	 * other way to do this is in the session. The bad thing about using the
	 * session is that we have no way of knowing when we are done re-rendering
	 * the request and so we don't know when we can remove the objects from
	 * the session. So we will end up polluting the session with old objects
	 * when we finally leave the render of this controller and move on to 
	 * somthing else. To minimize the pollution, we will use a static string
	 * value as the session attribute name. At least this way we are only ever
	 * leaving one orphaned set behind. The methods that return these names
	 * can be overridden if you want to use a different method, but be aware
	 * of the session pollution that may occur.
