Yes. Basically you create a form in struts-config.xml. Then you reference that form in your <action> instead of the ActionForm you coded. The issue is keeping the JSP form and your declared DynaForm in SYNCH. But it is not that big of a deal. I do not use ActionFOrms at all in my application. I do not really need to.
You can also validate against DynaForms, and there are heaps of postings in the archives to see about validation issues with DynaForms. But try them out first, and see how it goes. The source code examples in the stuts_src.tar worked very well for me. Was not too difficult to understand. -----Original Message----- From: Brian McSweeney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 11:52 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: New to Struts Ah, thanks Mick, So is the DynaForm the one which allows you not to create Forms declaratively using xml? Currently I write a form for each action and implement a validate method in the form. I was under the impression that there's a way to validate declaritively too. Is this possible and if so, with what component? thanks, brian ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 10:29 AM Subject: RE: New to Struts > I love DynaForms.
