struts-config_1_0.dtd File question

[Josh <jr...@yahoo.com>]

The struts-config_1_0.dtd file does not contain any constraints for describing
the details of a form bean.  This information is supposed to be used by the
Digester to create the ActionFormBean classes.  Is this functionality available
at this point?

Thanks,
Josh

A form bean that you write (that is, a subclass of ActionForm) need only conform to
the requirements of the JavaBeans Specification -- particularly the requirements
for a no-arguments constructor and the design patterns for property getters and
setters.

The ActionFormBean class is only used internally to Struts -- each instance
represents the data stored in a <form-bean> element in your struts-config.xml
file.  Normally, you need not concern yourself with this class.
