You can access it by delegation, like this:
public class MyAction
extends ActionSupport
{
MyData data = new MyData();
public MyData getData() { return data; }
...
}
in your HTML form you should then use the "data/" prefix:
<input type="text" name="data/foo">
..
which will cause getData().setFoo(<value>) to be invoked when the action
is executed. Very handy. I do this all the time. My actions pretty much
always delegates to the business objects (although in my case they're
commands too) instead of duplicating the get/set's in the action.

Well, the above should work just fine. I'm using it with great success,
although (as noted) I use the command pattern instead of session
facade/value objects. Much more efficient.
