right at the moment you could write the database access stuff in the
Action derived by AbstractXMLFormAction ...

in a project I am doing with XMLForm, I use an interface, FormLifecycle,
and an interface FormLifecycleListener. FormLifecycleListeners listens
for the following lifecycle events:

starting( ... )
completing( ... )
completed( ... )

abort( ... )

starting is called to denote that the form is starting, e.g. the data
model gets created.

completing is caleld to denote that the form is in completing mode ( the
listener can do a veto here)

completed is called to denote that the form is completed ( veto not
possible ).

abort is called when there is a non-normal abort has hapened.


whith this lifecycle listener there is a decomposition between the
business logic and the xml form action.
