Yes - use .NET or JSF; Struts is dead. ~mark -Original Message- From: Greg Pelly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 27, 2005 9:24 PM Is there a way to harvest the advantages of ActionForms without Struts? *** This email and any file transmitted with it may be confidential and is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.

Re: [OT] Populating Form objects without Struts?
Take another look at BeanUtils -- that's what Struts uses to auto-populate ActionForms from the request. You should be able to do the same thing in your app pretty easily using, e.g. BeanUtils.populate(form, request.getParameters()) or something similar. L.
