/**
* <p>Concrete FormController implementation that provides configurable
* form and success views, and an onSubmit chain for convenient overriding.
* Automatically resubmits to the form view in case of validation errors,
* and renders the success view in case of a valid submission.</p>
*
* <p>The workflow of this Controller does not differ much from the one described
* in the {@link AbstractFormController AbstractFormController}. The difference
* is that you do not need to implement {@link #showForm showForm},
* {@link #processFormSubmission processFormSubmission}, and
* {@link #renderFormSubmission renderFormSubmission}: A form view and a
* success view can be configured declaratively.</p>
*
* <p>This controller is different from it's servlet counterpart in that it must take
* into account the two phases of a portlet request: the action phase and the render
* phase. See the JSR-168 spec for more details on these two phases.
* Be especially aware that the action phase is called only once, but that the
* render phase will be called repeatedly by the portal -- it does this every time
* the page containing the portlet is updated, even if the activity is in some other
* portlet. The main difference in the methods in this class is that the
* <code>onSubmit</code> methods have all been split into <code>onSubmitAction</code>
* and <code>onSubmitRender</code> to account for the two phases.</p>
*
* <p><b><a name="workflow">Workflow
* (<a href="AbstractFormController.html#workflow">in addition to the superclass</a>):</b><br>
* <ol>
* <li>Call to {@link #processFormSubmission processFormSubmission} which inspects
* the {@link org.springframework.validation.Errors Errors} object to see if
* any errors have occurred during binding and validation.</li>
* <li>If errors occured, the controller will return the configured formView,
* showing the form again (possibly rendering according error messages).</li>
* <li>If {@link #isFormChangeRequest isFormChangeRequest} is overridden and returns
* true for the given request, the controller will return the formView too.
* In that case, the controller will also suppress validation. Before returning the formView,
* the controller will invoke {@link #onFormChange}, giving sub-classes a chance
* to make modification to the command object.
* This is intended for requests that change the structure of the form,
* which should not cause validation and show the form in any case.</li>
* <li>If no errors occurred, the controller will call
* {@link #onSubmitAction(ActionRequest, ActionResponse, Object, BindException) onSubmitAction}
* during the action phase and then {@link #onSubmitRender(RenderRequest, RenderResponse,
* Object, BindException) onSubmitRender} during the render phase, which in case of the
* default implementation delegate to {@link #onSubmitAction(Object, BindException)
* onSubmitAction} and {@link #onSubmitRender(Object, BindException) onSubmitRender}
* with just the command object.
* The default implementation of the latter method will return the configured
* <code>successView</code>. Consider just implementing {@link #doSubmitAction doSubmitAction}
* for simply performing a submit action during the action phase and then rendering
* the success view during the render phase.</li>
* </ol>
* </p>
*
* <p>The submit behavior can be customized by overriding one of the
* {@link #onSubmitAction onSubmitAction} or {@link #onSubmitRender onSubmitRender}
* methods. Submit actions can also perform custom validation if necessary
* (typically database-driven checks), calling {@link #showForm(RenderRequest,
* RenderResponse, BindException) showForm} in case of validation errors to show
* the form view again. You do not have to override both the <code>onSubmitAction</code> and
* <code>onSubmitRender</code> methods at a given level unless you truly have custom logic to
* perform in both.<p>
*
* <p><b>WARNING:</b> Make sure that any one-time system updates (such as database
* updates or file writes) are performed in either an {@link #onSubmitAction onSubmitAction}
* method or the {@link #doSubmitAction doSubmitAction} method. Logic in the
* {@link #onSubmitRender onSubmitRender} methods may be executed repeatedly by
* the portal whenever the page containing the portlet is updated.</p>
*
* <p><b><a name="config">Exposed configuration properties</a>
* (<a href="AbstractFormController.html#config">and those defined by superclass</a>):</b><br>

* More sophisticated actions can be implemented by overriding one of
* the {@link #onSubmitRender(Object) onSubmitRender()} methods.</td>

*
* <p>Parameters indicated with <code>setPassRenderParameters</code> will be

* If there are render parameters you need in <code>onSubmitRender</code>,
* then you need to pass those forward from <code>onSubmitAction</code>.
