I'm doing something pretty similar based on nested tags & beans, which I started out using only for pages with rows of records to edit, but now use even on pages with only one record, since the technique cuts out duplicating fields in a value bean and a form bean. My value beans have the normal getter & setter methods with the business layer uses, and each field also has a string-type field with a string getter & setter pair which the nested tags and struts use to fetch or fill the indexed properties. The string getter methods fetch the value of the normal-type field and convert it to string, and the form on validation converts the strings to the normal types. Works fine, but I'm sure it blurs the boundaries of MVC, although I haven't come across any problems or issues with it yet.
