Form layout not specified until runtime...

Hi everyone.

We am building an extremely database driven system where everything (the JSP
layout for example) 
is suppose to be dynamically generated in runtime. 
For example. We do not know in advance how many input fields we are going to
present to the user.
This means that it is not possible to define a XXXForm JavaBean that has
exactly these input fields.

Is there a way to meet these demands but still be able to use Struts?

Regards.

Would dbForms be incompatible with Struts????

For an extremely database driven application, I'd take a look at
