Your right, formbean "just" get request parameter for you. But they
are doing this too:
- allow syntax validation, programatically or by rules (via
validator.xml)
- allow "dotted" and indexed syntax (like "property1.property2[3]"),
and so a realy objet-oriented formbean design
- can be dynabeans (so you don't need to create javabeans)
