[ http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/STR-2956?page=comments#action_38329 ] Paul Benedict commented on STR-2956: ------------------------------------
Good points in paragraph one. I don't know if anyone has ever done strongly typed forms in an action method. I never have seen it discussed. It's possible. This is definitely not a solution for DynaBeans. I agree the complexity would be raised. The reason I find the complexity appealing is because I use non-Dyna forms 99% of the time. The casting could be one line I can remove in about 30 places :-) I got my idea off of Spring because Spring can auto-dect types, and I find that kind of stuff appealing. I personally rather work with strict typing than casting from generics. > Strongly typed forms in Action dispatching > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: STR-2956 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/STR-2956 > Project: Struts 1 > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.0 Final > Reporter: Paul Benedict > Fix For: 1.3.6 > > > Actions always cast a form into the intended subclass.
