ActionForm vs. Value Bean

If you got Data records from a database - have they got to be saved in an ActionForm, or in a value bean ??? I guess they have to be saved in a value bean, because ActionForm just take request parameters. If so, what about the action mapping ? name=ValueBean instead of name=ActionForm ? thanks
