title: Does Spring contain something similar to BeanUtils populate method?
body: <p>I'm trying to populate a pojo with data from a map. I can use Apache Commons but I'm curious if Spring also has an implementation built in.</p>
  
  <p>I know Spring must contain a method that does this mapping; spring integration inbound http gateways will map HTTP payloads to a POJO (request-payload-type).</p>
  
  <p>Is BeanUtils the de facto standard for doing exactly what I want?</p>
