I will (shortly) be able to help you with this issue, as well as several others.
I'm putting the finishing touches on a small Model 2 based framework that will be
open sourced, and will contain the following tools:
* Basic "model 2" servlet with action interfaces and some
other support classes.
* Custom tag library for some common use cases in Model 2
scenarios, including internationalization.
* Support for populating bean properties directly from request
parameters (like JSP can do with the "*" wildcard).
* Processing XML files like the one above, and creating new
objects (and populating properties) from them elegantly,
based on simple processing rules that you define.
Look for an announcement of code availability for this for JavaOne. In addition, I
will be present at many of the BOFs and Sessions (TS) related to servlet and JSP
technology, including speaking at some of them. This code will be one of the case
study examples. Hope to see you there!
