There is a line in the workflow of both the GET and POST which confuses me.

I don't understand what is meant here.
The ServletRequestDataBinder maps attributes in the request to properties on the command object. It does a little bit more than just call methods - data conversion, etc. As an example, if you had an input in a form with name foo.name, and the command object is called foo, then the ServletRequestDataBinder will call foo.setName() with the contents of the request parameter. It all gets a little bit more involved when you have check boxes and select lists, but I'm sure you get the idea :-) Mike http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a58/Maskkkk/AbstractFormControllerHTTPGET.png
