Optional Element Summary
`String` | `defaultValue` The default value to use as a fallback.
`boolean` | `required` Whether the parameter is required.
`String` | `value` The name of the request parameter to bind to.

### value

    public abstract String value

  The name of the request parameter to bind to.

  Default:
    ""

### required

    public abstract boolean required

  Whether the parameter is required.

  Default is `true`, leading to an exception thrown in case of the parameter missing in the request. Switch this to `false` if you prefer a `null in case of the parameter missing.`

  Alternatively, provide a `defaultValue`, which implicitly sets this flag to `false`.

  Default:
    true

### defaultValue

    public abstract String defaultValue

  The default value to use as a fallback. Supplying a default value implicitly sets `required()` to false.

  Default:
    "\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\ue000\ue001\ue002\n\t\t\t\t\n"
