It's not heavily covered in the docs yet.  The places I would look first:

* The "lib/struts-config_1_1.dtd" file (the DTD for struts-config.xml
  files) documents the new attributes of the <form-bean> and nested
  <form-property> elements).

* The struts-config.xml for the Struts example app uses a dynamic form
  bean for the login form, configured like this:

    <form-bean name="logonForm"
               type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm">
      <form-property name="username" type="java.lang.String"/>
      <form-property name="password" type="java.lang.String"/>
    </form-bean>

Both of these are available in the recent nightly builds (which run from
the HEAD branch).

You might also download the commons-beanutils package (and associated
docs) from the Jakarta web site.  The Javadocs cover some of the general
concepts of programming DynaBeans:

  http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-commons/nightly/commons-beanutils/

While you're there, Struts 1.1 will use several other Commons packages as
enhanced features or as replacements for code from org.apache.struts.util
- you might want to grab the packages for the collections, dbcp, digester,
pool, services, and validator packages as well.
