This is a quibble. If you want to put your functionality into your ActionForm class, go ahead. Create an abstract ActionForm subclass that has a takeAction() pure virtual method in it (with appropriate arguments). Create an Action class which does nothing more than cast to your ActionForm subclass and call takeAction(). There you go, functionality in the same class that holds the data.
