Java 1.4.x provides a very nice implementation of regexp. Jerry

I've been finding that the finer the granularity in my struts application, the easier it is to maintain [for each action, a specialized form/bean]. I did opt though for the validator, since it brought regexp validation to the table which is invaluable and fairly easy to setup in an afternoon.

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.
