------- Additional Comments From Joe@Germuska.com  2004-03-24 17:58 -------
Struts has some deep assumptions that you aren't creating your own form beans.
Some work has already happened to make it easier to ask Struts for instances of
form beans (instead of using "new") -- in nightly builds you can can call
RequestUtils.createActionForm(FormBeanConfig,ActionServlet)

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/api/org/apache/struts/util/RequestUtils.html#createActionForm(org.apache.struts.config.FormBeanConfig,%20org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet)

I think there are legitimate reasons to encourage people to use Struts to get
form bean instances rather than constructing them themselves.  I'd like to steer
this bug along the lines of making that work better instead of encouraging
people to instantiate their own form beans.
