I understand. The only thing I have to do is to override 'getFormModel()' in my action where I have to create a DOM object with the initial data, am I right? Then I have another question: In the example bean (UserBean) some values are set by DOM nodes. What is the use case for this aproach? (This part made me think that the bean is the right place to instanciate the DOM-Object.)
