/**
 * Special {@link DataBinder} for data binding from web request parameters
 * to JavaBean objects. Designed for web environments, but not dependent on
 * the Servlet API; serves as base class for more specific DataBinder variants,
 * such as {@link org.springframework.web.bind.ServletRequestDataBinder}.
 *
 * <p>Includes support for field markers which address a common problem with
 * HTML checkboxes and select options: detecting that a field was part of
 * the form, but did not generate a request parameter because it was empty.
 * A field marker allows to detect that state and reset the corresponding
 * bean property accordingly. Default values, for parameters that are otherwise
 * not present, can specify a value for the field other then empty.
