http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29565 ActionForm bean should be HAS-A not IS-A [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity|Normal |Enhancement ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-06-14 23:19 ------- There is substantial debate in the mailing list archives over whether ActionForm should have been an interface or not. There are arguments to the effect that making it an interface would have promoted some dubious programming practices. I think that this suggestion bumps into some of the same arguments. (These arguments mostly happened "before my time" and I don't have strong feelings about them, but some do.) Also, it is pretty easy to use BeanUtils to copy properties from an ActionForm to a domain object. For these reasons, I'm changing this from a bug to an enhancement request. Still, I think it's justifiable to argue that Struts would work better for people if it was different, so this should stay open and garner some more opinions, possibly some votes, and ideally, some patches... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
