My two cents on the topic. As mentioned, once you move to a good Java IDE like JBuilder, writing getters and setters is no longer nearly the pain it used to be.
What bothers me about the DynaBean approach is that it's *yet another* file, and *yet another* level of indirection that obscure what's really going on. I can look at an ActionForm, see all the properties, look at the validation, all in one step. Making it a DynaBean form means having to maintain another file with the XML, always having to remember where it is, etc. I think the decision to use one or the other is a matter of programming style, but I don't think either one is dogmatically a best practice.
