* for {@link HandlerMapping} annotated handler classes.
*
* <p>Can be used to expose command objects to a web view, using
* specific attribute names, through annotating corresponding
* parameters of a {@link HandlerMapping} annotated handler method).
*
* <p>Can also be used to expose reference data to a web view
* through annotating accessor methods in a controller class which
* is based on {@link HandlerMapping} annotated handler methods,
* with such accessor methods allowed to have any arguments that
* {@link HandlerMapping} supports for handler methods, returning
* the model attribute value to expose. </p>
