1. 要部分更新实体，应使用@SessionAttributes模型在请求之间的会话中存储模型。您可以使用隐藏的表单字段，但是会话更为安全。

2. 要将P / R / G与验证一起使用，请使用 flashAttributes

3. 要保护字段安全，请使用webDataBinder.setAllowedFields("field1","field2",...)或创建特定于表单的类，然后将值复制到您的实体。实体不需要ID和版本的设置器（如果使用Hibernate）。

4. 要使用乐观并发控制@Version，请在实体中使用注释，并@SessionAttributes在控制器上使用。

示例代码：

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/foo/edit/{id}")
@SessionAttributes({FooEditController.ATTRIBUTE_NAME})
public class FooEditController {

    static final String ATTRIBUTE_NAME = "foo";
    static final String BINDING_RESULT_NAME = "org.springframework.validation.BindingResult." + ATTRIBUTE_NAME;

    @Autowired
    private FooRepository fooRepository;

    /*
     Without this, user can set any Foo fields they want with a custom HTTP POST
     setAllowedFields disallows all other fields. 
     You don't even need setters for id and version, as Hibernate sets them using reflection
    */
    @InitBinder
    void allowFields(WebDataBinder webDataBinder){
        webDataBinder.setAllowedFields("name"); 
    }

    /*
     Get the edit form, or get the edit form with validation errors
    */
    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
    String getForm(@PathVariable("id") long id, Model model) {

        /* if "fresh" GET (ie, not redirect w validation errors): */
        if(!model.containsAttribute(BINDING_RESULT_NAME)) {
            Foo foo = fooRepository.findOne(id);
            if(foo == null) throw new ResourceNotFoundException();
            model.addAttribute(ATTRIBUTE_NAME, foo);
        }

        return "foo/edit-form";
    }

    /*
     @Validated is better than @Valid as it can handle http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/validator/5.1/reference/en-US/html/chapter-groups.html
     @ModelAttribute will load Foo from session but also set values from the form post
     BindingResult contains validation errors
     RedirectAttribute.addFlashAttribute() lets you put stuff in session for ONE request
     SessionStatus lets you clear your SessionAttributes
    */
    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
    String saveForm(
       @Validated @ModelAttribute(ATTRIBUTE_NAME) Foo foo,
       BindingResult bindingResult, 
       RedirectAttributes redirectAttributes, 
       HttpServletRequest request, 
       SessionStatus sessionStatus
    ) {

        if(!bindingResult.hasErrors()) {
            try {
                fooRepository.save(foo);
            } catch (JpaOptimisticLockingFailureException exp){
                bindingResult.reject("", "This record was modified by another user. Try refreshing the page.");
            }
        }

        if(bindingResult.hasErrors()) {

            //put the validation errors in Flash session and redirect to self
            redirectAttributes.addFlashAttribute(BINDING_RESULT_NAME, bindingResult);
            return "redirect:" + request.getRequestURI();
        }

        sessionStatus.setComplete(); //remove Foo from session

        redirectAttributes.addFlashAttribute("message", "Success. The record was saved");
        return "redirect:" + request.getRequestURI();
    }
}
