But in general, yes you're right. My approach is targetted at editing business objects (=java objects). It's not used for editing xml data or for processing form values in others ways, like sending emails etc. That's why I still think that it makes sense to follow the dywel approach but I want to use underneath as much as possible from the existing features we already have.
