Hello all. I'm new to this list but not so new to Struts. What do you think of adding to Struts the ability to configure dynamic form beans to implement an interface? The main benefit that I see is that it allows further decoupling of business code from Struts in that DynaActionForms (any action forms, really) can implement a business interface and be passed by interface to a business class, and that business class has no dependency on Struts. I've already implemented it myself, though it's not very thoroughly tested. It's a surprisingly small amount of code: I subclassed org.apache.struts.config. FormBeanConfig and wrote one other supporting class. If this were implemented in Struts, there would be no need for the subclass. The code could just be integrated directly into FormBeanConfig. The downside is that it would introduce a dependency on CGLib (but only at build time and when the feature is actually used) unless there's another way to dynamically apply the interface of which I am not aware. On the bright side, anyone using Hibernate with Struts probably is using CGLib anyway. So is anyone interested?
