How to use WebDataBinder in Spring?

It’s still the same old rules, straight to the point. When we develop, we often pass parameters from html and jsp to the background. However, one situation we often encounter is that the passed data needs to be assembled into an object format in the background. The most common one is the enum type. At this time, the @initBinder annotation provided by spring plays a great role.

In the following example, we create a JavaBean (username, password, email and date of birth of a user), and we create two custom validation classes .The first one, we verify the user name and password. The second one, verify the email address,

The structure of Demo in Eclipse

Validator is an interface with two methods;
boolean supports( Class clazz) : Instance class to check whether the parameters are successfully verified;
void validate(Object target, Errors errors) : If supports() method Return true, the target object is legal. Errors.rejectValue() The method registers error information with a field name;
