well for a search form, it's not like you really need the values of the form remembered, since the resultant view is always going to be a search results page. your search action could quite happily just worry about request.getParameter("searchInputType"). we use ActionForm only where it represents some kind of domain/business object that requires validation. unless you want to validate your search form, i don't see the point.
