Question

Is there a way to manually invoke spring binding to create an object based on form post data?

Normally I would use something like this:

 @RequestMapping({"/url"})
 public String execute(MyBindingoObject object, BindingResult errors) {
    ///...
 }

But I am working in a project that uses a generic controller and passes in commands that do the actual work. Is there anyway to do something like this:

MyBindingObject object = SomeSpringUtil.bindObject(MyBindingObject.class, request);
