Spring @ModelAttribute support to builder pattern [SPR-13415]

Raffaele Litto opened SPR-13415 and commented

Spring @ModelAttribute has no way to support builder pattern, unlike support introduced into Jackson: (check http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonFeatureBuilderPattern)

Use cases where this could be worth being useful:

mapping query arguments to bean like in:

/entity/search?id=23&status=OPEN&pageSize=10&page=1

to a method like

List<EntityDTO>  searchEntities(HttpServletRequest request, @ModelAttribute
    EntitySearchDTO searchDTO)

Clarified the initial request, I realized that it was not a missing feature for jackson support but simply Spring binding that had no simple way of binding to builder pattern dtos

Bulk closing outdated, unresolved issues. Please, reopen if still relevant.

Looks still relevant to me. Especially with lombok's Builder annotation this would be really useful.
