At the start of this chapter, you saw how to serve and process forms, and you learned how to bind form data with a form backing bean. You also learned how to read a bean in the Controller. After that, we went a little deeper into form bean binding and configured the binder in our Controller to whitelist some of the POST parameters from being bound to the form bean. Finally, you saw how to use one more Spring special tag <spring:message> to externalize the messages in a JSP file.

In the next chapter, you will find out more about Views and view resolvers.
