Generic Form Beans

           Summary: Generic Form Beans
           Product: Struts
           Version: Nightly Build
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Custom Tags
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: ericpabst@discoverfinancial.com


Currently, it appears that a form bean must manually be created for each form.  
There are times when this is not desired and should not be necessary.  By 
allowing the form tags to use both the reflection API and look for generic 
methods with the signatures of get(String s) and set(String s, Object o)  
(Note: it would be nice if it did not force the second parameter to be of type 
Object), this flexibility would be allowed.  This also allows Struts to provide 
a default form bean that simply has those two methods and stores a Map 
internally (or just provide HashMap as the default form bean).  This is 
important for projects like www.ofbiz.com where generic attributes are heavily 
used for other reasons.
