Spring MVC 3 SimpleFormController

Question

In Spring 2.5; there is SimpleFormController having method

    @Override
        protected Object formBackingObject(HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
            //logic for command object

}

What is its alternative in Spring mvc 3. I want to load command object in a jsp page form.

Use @ModelAttribute

@ModelAttribute
public MyFormObject createForm(HttpServletRequest request){

}

Would work without the request also

@ModelAttribute
public MyFormObject createForm(){

}
