Best Practice for Spring MVC form-backing object tree initialization

public class Person {
     String name;
     ContactInfo contactInfo = new ContactInfo();
     //getters, setters, etc.
}

public class ContactInfo {
     String phone;
     Address homeAddress = new Address();
}

public static Person getInstanceForContactInfoForm() {
      ContactInfo contactInfo = ContactInfo.getInstanceForContactInfoForm();

      Person person = new Person(contactInfo);
      // set whatever other properties you need for Person
      // just enough to 1-render the form and 2-avoid any exceptions
      return person;
}
