Are you saying that input methods shouldn't have any logic in and just return the string of the result. If that's the case where should you retrieve those list values? What other alternatives do I have? The only other one that comes to my mind is Preparable and action tag. About Preparable interface and input field repopulation there is something that I don't get it. When you submit the form data to the action the Preparable (prepare method) will be executed regardless of validation. So in the cases where the validation is going to be successful why would you want to retrieve the input lists values or other stuff for the input result if you are not even going to use it. Isn't that unnecessary overhead?
