/**
 * {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.Controller Controller}
 * implementation that allows multiple request types to be handled by the same
 * class. Subclasses of this class can handle several different types of
 * request with methods of the form
 *
 * <pre class="code">public (ModelAndView | Map | String | void) actionName(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, [,HttpSession] [,AnyObject]);</pre>
 *
 * A Map return value indicates a model that is supposed to be passed to a default view
 * (determined through a {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.RequestToViewNameTranslator}).
 * A String return value indicates the name of a view to be rendered without a specific model.
 *
 * <p>May take a third parameter (of type {@link HttpSession}) in which an
 * existing session will be required, or a third parameter of an arbitrary
 * class that gets treated as the command (that is, an instance of the class
 * gets created, and request parameters get bound to it)
 *
 * <p>These methods can throw any kind of exception, but should only let
 * propagate those that they consider fatal, or which their class or superclass
 * is prepared to catch by implementing an exception handler.
 *
 * <p>When returning just a {@link Map} instance view name translation will be
 * used to generate the view name. The configured
 * {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.RequestToViewNameTranslator} will be
 * used to determine the view name.
 *
 * <p>When returning {@code void} a return value of {@code null} is
 * assumed meaning that the handler method is responsible for writing the
 * response directly to the supplied {@link HttpServletResponse}.
 *
 * <p>This model allows for rapid coding, but loses the advantage of
 * compile-time checking. It is similar to a Struts {@code DispatchAction},
 * but more sophisticated. Also supports delegation to another object.
 *
 * <p>An implementation of the {@link MethodNameResolver} interface defined in
 * this package should return a method name for a given request, based on any
 * aspect of the request, such as its URL or an "action" parameter. The actual
 * strategy can be configured via the "methodNameResolver" bean property, for
 * each {@code MultiActionController}.
 *
 * <p>The default {@code MethodNameResolver} is
 * {@link InternalPathMethodNameResolver}; further included strategies are
 * {@link PropertiesMethodNameResolver} and {@link ParameterMethodNameResolver}.
 *
 * <p>Subclasses can implement custom exception handler methods with names such
 * as:
 *
 * <pre class="code">public ModelAndView anyMeaningfulName(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, ExceptionClass exception);</pre>
 *
 * The third parameter can be any subclass or {@link Exception} or
 * {@link RuntimeException}.
 *
 * <p>There can also be an optional {@code xxxLastModified} method for
 * handlers, of signature:
 *
 * <pre class="code">public long anyMeaningfulNameLastModified(HttpServletRequest request)</pre>
 *
 * If such a method is present, it will be invoked. Default return from
 * {@code getLastModified} is -1, meaning that the content must always be
 * regenerated.
 *
 * <p><b>Note that all handler methods need to be public and that
 * method overloading is <i>not</i> allowed.</b>
 *
 * <p>See also the description of the workflow performed by
 * {@link AbstractController the superclass} (in that section of the class
 * level Javadoc entitled 'workflow').
 *
 * <p><b>Note:</b> For maximum data binding flexibility, consider direct usage of a
 * {@link ServletRequestDataBinder} in your controller method, instead of relying
 * on a declared command argument. This allows for full control over the entire
 * binder setup and usage, including the invocation of {@link Validator Validators}
 * and the subsequent evaluation of binding/validation errors.
