http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4856 Make ActionForm an Interface [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |WONTFIX ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2001-11-13 18:49 ------- ActionForm was originally an interface, but after careful deliberation, it was changed to an abstract class. For more see, http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg08070.html and http://www.husted.com/struts/FAQ/controller-ejb.htm A *very* important aspect of the ActionForm is that it is a firewall between HTTP and your business logic beans. The ActionForms objects give you the chance to validate (and reject) data before handing it off to your business logic beans. It also prevents other properties on your business logic beans from being populated inadvertently. Every public property (including nested properties) on an ActionForm bean can be populated from a HTTP request, which could include properties you did not intend to expose. -Ted. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
