/**
 * <!-- START SNIPPET: description -->
 *
 * Watches for {@link ModelDriven} actions and adds the action's model on to the value stack.
 *
 * <p> <b>Note:</b>  The ModelDrivenInterceptor must come before the both {@link StaticParametersInterceptor} and
 * {@link ParametersInterceptor} if you want the parameters to be applied to the model.
 * </p>
 * <p> <b>Note:</b>  The ModelDrivenInterceptor will only push the model into the stack when the
 * model is not null, else it will be ignored.
 * </p>

 * <!-- END SNIPPET: description -->
 *
 * <p><u>Interceptor parameters:</u></p>
 *
 * <!-- START SNIPPET: parameters -->
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li>refreshModelBeforeResult - set to true if you want the model to be refreshed on the value stack after action
 * execution and before result execution.  The setting is useful if you want to change the model instance during the
 * action execution phase, like when loading it from the data layer.  This will result in getModel() being called at
 * least twice.</li>
