Tks for the reply Tim. I now see the advantages of my latter case. But being my form bean a DynaActionForm, can I still use BeanUtils.populate()?? If not, what would be the alternative?

I.e., the action should contain all of (and only) the web-specific portion of the application. I.e., the latter case in your example. Think about what happens if you add a property? How many places do you need to change it? One less (at least) in the patter case. You can (typically) use BeanUtils.populate() do move all properties in one fell swoop.
