Just a couple of pointers I can offer here..
I am assuming that for the user to be able to edit there
profile, they have been "identified" in some manor, and
therefore this information can be stored within the session
object. This is where the default information for the form
can be retrieved. Maybe creating/initializing the bean storing
the profile info used by the form can be done at the login
stage.
I defer the example based details to the more experienced
members of this group :)
