Get access to the command object in the @InitBinder method

[kajh]

Hi!

In my @InitBinder method I call binder.setDisallowedFields(). Which fields that should be included here depends on the state of the command Object.

I tried to get access to the command object with the follwing code:

    @InitBinder
    public void initBinder(@ModelAttribute("myCommand") final MyCommand myCommand,
            final HttpServletRequest request, final ServletRequestDataBinder binder) throws Exception {
            
            }

which gave me the following errormessage: @ModelAttribute is not supported on @InitBinder methods

I could let both this methond and my @ModelAttribute method delegate the job of getting the command object based on the request but would just like to ask here if someone has found a more elegant solution

We are using Spring 3.0.5.RELEASE.

TIA!

Basically there isn't a way... InitBinder is called before the modelobject exists because the binder is needed to construct the Modelobject...
