## org.springframework.validation
Interface BindingErrorProcessor

All Known Implementing Classes:
  DefaultBindingErrorProcessor

    public interface BindingErrorProcessor

Strategy for processing `DataBinder`'s missing field errors, and for translating a `PropertyAccessException` to a `FieldError`.

The error processor is pluggable so you can treat errors differently if you want to. A default implementation is provided for typical needs.

Note: As of Spring 2.0, this interface operates on a given BindingResult, to be compatible with any binding strategy (bean property, direct field access, etc). It can still receive a BindException as argument (since a BindException implements the BindingResult interface as well) but no longer operates on it directly.

Since:
  1.2

Method Summary
`void` `processMissingFieldError(String missingField, BindingResult bindingResult)` Apply the missing field error to the given BindException.
`void` `processPropertyAccessException(PropertyAccessException ex, BindingResult bindingResult)` Translate the given `PropertyAccessException` to an appropriate error registered on the given `Errors` instance.

Method Detail

### processMissingFieldError

    void processMissingFieldError(String missingField,
                                  BindingResult bindingResult)

  Apply the missing field error to the given BindException.

  Usually, a field error is created for a missing required field.

  Parameters:
    `missingField` - the field that was missing during binding
    `bindingResult` - the errors object to add the error(s) to. You can add more than just one error or maybe even ignore it. The `BindingResult` object features convenience utils such as a `resolveMessageCodes` method to resolve an error code.
  See Also:
    `AbstractBindingResult.addError(org.springframework.validation.ObjectError)`, `AbstractBindingResult.resolveMessageCodes(java.lang.String)`

### processPropertyAccessException

    void processPropertyAccessException(PropertyAccessException ex,
                                        BindingResult bindingResult)

  Translate the given `PropertyAccessException` to an appropriate error registered on the given `Errors` instance.

  Note that two error types are available: `FieldError` and `ObjectError`. Usually, field errors are created, but in certain situations one might want to create a global `ObjectError` instead.

  Parameters:
    `ex` - the `PropertyAccessException` to translate
    `bindingResult` - the errors object to add the error(s) to. You can add more than just one error or maybe even ignore it. The `BindingResult` object features convenience utils such as a `resolveMessageCodes` method to resolve an error code.
