Hello All, When i first heard about struts, i was developing all in jsps. I read about struts and at the same time MVC, and thought, "Well obviously thats the way to go". So before i allowed my self to use struts i first created my own "strutsLite" based on my very small understanding of struts. I built out a couple of applications on this framework, and then started using struts. So unfortunatly one of the applications i built using my strutsLite has taken on a life of its own. Also unfortunatly when i built strutsLite i misunderstood how actionForm population worked and i built a populate method in the ActionForm. I now would like to migrate this application to Struts, but my application needs the populate method in the ActionForm to work correctly. The application is a dynamic form builder, that creates forms on the fly based on a form definition in a database. Each component on the form is represented by a class that implements an interface. The interface has validate, populate and generateHTML methods. Because each component class writes the HTML and also uses its populate method to parse the submission, complex multi element components can be coded. So in the ActionForm, a lookup is performed for each component in a form submission, to see what type of component it is. The proper class is then instanciated, and its populate method is called.
I assume the struts way of working this out would be to extend the RequestProccessor and override the processPopulate method. Any advice about the transition of this situation to struts or to another framework would be greatly appreciated.
