      @Deprecated
      public abstract class AbstractCommandController
      extends BaseCommandController

  Abstract base class for custom command controllers.

  Autopopulates a command bean from the request. For command validation, a validator (property inherited from `BaseCommandController`) can be used.

  In most cases this command controller should not be used to handle form submission, because functionality for forms is offered in more detail by the `AbstractFormController` and its corresponding implementations.

  Exposed configuration properties (and those defined by superclass):
  none (so only those available in superclass).

  Workflow (and that defined by superclass):

      Deprecated.
      Template method for request handling, providing a populated and validated instance of the command class, and an Errors object containing binding and validation errors.

      Call `errors.getModel()` to populate the ModelAndView model with the command and the Errors instance, under the specified command name, as expected by the "spring:bind" tag.

      Parameters:
        `request` - current HTTP request
        `response` - current HTTP response
        `command` - the populated command object
        `errors` - validation errors holder

        a ModelAndView to render, or `null` if handled directly
      Throws:
        `Exception`
