Hmh, I just tried that out. I have a Book.java Bean with title, author, etc. Than I have a BookForm.java ActionForm that has a Book. Now to use a form to set the title of the book my BookForm still needs to have a setTitle() method. So, I still end writing (and maintaining) all those getters and setters twice?

In our JSPs, we simply reference the bean properties via the accessor method: fooBean.date fooBean.name Chris -----Original Message----- From: Stephan Wiesner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 6:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Use of ActionForm: If I got it right I normally define an ActionFormBean for every Bean of mine But it is basically just the same, just without logic. I don't want my Model Beans to extend a Strut class, though. So I end coding the same getter and setter methods in two classes. If ActionForm were an Interface I could define a class extending my normal Bean and implementing it. I suppose I don't see something here, so can anybody enlighten me?
