All Implemented Interfaces:

Errors, java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

DataBinder

public class BindException

extends java.lang.Exception

implements Errors

Default implementation of the Errors interface, supporting registration and evaluation of binding errors. Slightly unusual, as it _is_ an exception.

This is mainly a framework-internal class. Normally, application code will work with the Errors interface.

Supports exporting a model, suitable for example for web MVC. Thus, it is sometimes used as parameter type instead of the Errors interface itself - if extracting the model makes sense in the respective context.
