OK, this is in with revision 344895. I did find the *single* bit of usefulness in extending FormData. Like the Struts ActionForm, it allows you to perform initialization and other logic in a reset() method. This method is called before population of data from the request, and it has access to the request object.
Given this, I'd propose exposing something like prePopulate() through an interface. My preference would be to have a single interface (FormBean) that either contains both prePopulate() and validate(), or extends two separate interfaces for each of those two methods. Any thoughts on this? Thanks, Rich Rich Feit wrote: >Excellent. I made a local change that does this (and fixes up all the >code/test that depends on it).
