Im not so sure that would work too well as the actionforms are
representations of the view state, and whats in a form on the view
doesnt necessarily correspond directly to the objects that are modelled
at the business tier, and often contains other stuff that is view
specific, or exists to workaround view layer issues (like the need for a
reset method).

The Austin JUG meeting tonight featured the J2SE 5.0 presentation from Sum.
I am currently using the new annotations feature on a test project using EJB
3.0 and JBoss. It is
very cool; just annotate your entity beans and the server does all the database
mappings.
As I was listening to tonight's presentation, I thought it would be a good idea
to annotate the
same entity beans with "formParameter" annotations; i.e., do away with form
beans and the mapping
of form beans to business model objects.
I know this is exactly what is planned for JSF (making the backing beans and
entity beans one in
the same); however, I do not want to move to JSF at this time (maybe the change
will be worth
while when JSF truly has some rich client components; until then, why make such
a radical change
from something that is working well).
In any case, has anyone given serious thought to doing away with form beans in
Struts and moving
to annotations?
