How to bind form data in Spring 2.5 most efficiently?

What would be the best way how to bind a form data to model? I mean I have a simple model class:

public class LoginCommand {

    private String login;
    private String password;

    //getters and setters
}

And what would be the best way how to bind the form data to this command in Spring 2.5? Can the @InitBinder annotation help? I couldn't understa开发者_运维百科nd how does it work.. One way how i think it might work is bellow.

@Controller
public LoginController {
    @RequestMapping(value = "/login/*", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public ModelAndView loginAction(@ModelAttribute("loginCommand") LoginCommand lc, BindingResult result) {

        new LoginCommandValidator().validate(lc, result);
        if (result.hasErrors()){
            // didn't validate
        } else {
            // check against db
        }

    }
}

Is this the best way to do it?

Well, for login actions you probably need to look into Spring security. That aside I am going to give some insight to the more general question and suggest you look into the @RequestParam annotation...

@RequestMapping(value = "/login/*", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView handleLogin(@RequestParam("login")    String username,
                                @RequestParam("password") String password) {
    // create constructor, remove setters to make this immutable
    LoginCommand lc = new LoginCommand(username, password);
    // more code here...
}

I realize there are probably multiple ways to solve this problem but I like this approach due to it's simplicity and explicitness; or more simply, it's less magic and easy to read albeit slightly verbose.
