Why add form-property to struts-config.xml for DynaActionForms

[Pr...@ubsw.com]

Is it possible to avoid adding <form-property> tags to struts-config.xml for DynaActionForms? Struts complains if these aren't provided.

For example, if I have a form with fields called username, password, currencyList and activityStatus, I have to add the following to struts-config.xml


        <form-bean name="test1Form" type="org.apache.struts.webapp.example.Test1Form" dynamic="true">
          <form-property name="username" type="java.lang.String" />
          <form-property name="password" type="java.lang.String" />
          <form-property name="currencyList" type="java.util.List" />
          <form-property name="activityStatus" type="java.lang.String" />
        </form-bean>

Why is this necessary since there are no corresponding get/set methods for each field in a DynaActionForm? For example, there are no methods called getUsername() or setUsername(). Instead the DynaActionForm's generic getter method is called: public Object get(String parm1).

Is there a way of avoiding this?

TIA
