Stuffer. I like it. =) We have this:
<name>.jsp --> <name>Form --> <name>Action --> <name>BO --> <name>DAO --> <name>Entity BO = Business object - where we put the application logic DAO = Data Access Object - where the SQL is encapsulated Entity = An object representation of the table - this may have a 1:1 relationship with the Form or it may not. The BO-DAo-Entity objects are designed so that they maybe used by a struts/web application or other applications within the enterprise.

It provides the controller and the means to extend it and provides for the use of JSPs with custom tags to give you your view, but the ActionForm objects have only one foot in the model world. They are really intended as parameter objects between Actions and JSPs if I have understood them correctly. I said all that to say that you can call your model objects and their helper objects whatsoever you wish. Boring people like me use traditional pattern language like Manager and Factory, but you can use whatever sounds good. For example, if you have a Customer object, then you might have supporting objects called CustomerManager and CustomerFactory. You might even want a CustomerPersister, how about a CustomerLoader (I really like the idea of calling this a CustomerStuffer, but it's early and I haven't finished my first cup of coffee! :-) Hope this helps.
