I have'nt benchmarked the perf, but for our app we were not comfortable with having the struts libs in the Application layer...The WrapDynaBean holds the instance of the Action form and hence has references to the struts libs.

For example: ===> in an Action (DocumentAction) DocumentForm dcForm = (DocumentForm)form; DynaBean wrp = new WrapDynaBean(dcForm); DocumentDAO dbo = new DocumentDAO(); dom.insertDocument(getConnection(),wrp); ===>and then in the DAO class public int insertDocument(Connection conn, DynaBean data){ StringBuffer sbf = new StringBuffer(); sbf.append("insert ......").appen(data.get("title")).append(",") .append(data.get("author")).append(")"); ............................................ } So the basic ideea is to use the wrapped ActionForm as a DTO. Anyone has any comments?
