Re: Prepopulating forms

[Joe Germuska]

Yes, I think that's a great improvement.  Still, I feel like Struts 
should be responsible for managing the scopes and the placement of 
the form bean into the correct scope.

Also, and this may just be because I got on the "view controller" 
horse a long time ago, but I feel like there should be a config file 
that knows the name and scope of the form bean, and it should be 
hooked to the forward config, and not hard-coded into the action.

Am I just being too much of a formalist?
