If DynaActionForm had been around from the very beginning, I doubt we
would have ever invented the standard ActionForm bean approach. At the
same time, I can't necessarily justify deprecating something that 100% of
existing 1.0 applications are required to use, especially when the rest of
Struts doesn't care at all which way you do things -- and you can even
make your Actions not care if you use PropertyUtils methods to get and set
the property values.

It's also a little premature to conclude that DynaActionForm beans are
good replacements for all scenarios where standard ActionForm beans are
currently used - at least in a 1.1 time frame. We need more real world
experience with them to validate this first.
