 == Binding Beans to Forms
 
 The business objects used in an application are in most cases implemented as Java beans or POJOs.
-There is special support for that kind of business object in [classname]#BeanBinder#.
-It can use reflection based on bean property names to bind values. This reduces the amount of code you have to write when binding to fields in the bean.

 [NOTE]
 Bean level validation can only be performed once the bean has been updated. This means that this functionality can only be used together with `setBean`. You need to trigger validation manually if using `readBean` and `writeBean`.

 Similarly to how the [methodname]#withStatusLabel# method can be used for defining where messages for a specific binding should be showed, we can also define a [classname]#Label# that is used for showing status messages that are not related to any specific field.
