Thank you Craig. I think this list is great, and now that I'm slowly getting struts -- this week has been much better than last, I'm able to see it's power. I still haven't played with DynaAction forms, but if they can reduce the proliferation of forms classes I seem to have now.. more power to struts. Thank you (and to the rest of the list) for the patience w/ which you answer -- it makes the list and struts itself valuable. I normally wouldn't say this, but the author posted about whether or not a form's fields would be filled before validate() is called. My reaction was the same initially as several others on this list.. i.e. hmm.. hasn't he read the manual? I then recalled my frustrations in those early days w/ struts (just a few days back).. and I remember being unclear about several things. "what does the 'struts' framework do behind your back to make your life easy for you" would be a great topic in the documentation.. it sort of says that .. but that information is mixed in w/discussions about MVC2, and then other details .. so a 'just what the code does in 1.1b2' section would be great. Thankfully, I finally got my source debugger to work with it, so I've been setting breakpoints and learning. struts is actually quite simple -- once you see what it's doing. Just a suggestion. ps. when things work .. people don't ask such questions. It's when you read about bean:define or nested:text and then try it, and it throws an exception that shakes your mental models, that you need to map, cross-check your understanding with reality again.
