Hi Alexander,

> are there equivalent concepts in jetspeed for the ActionForm.  

I have written entire apps in both Turbine and Struts, so I think I'm qualified to 
give my opinion ;).  You could try using the Turbine Intake service.  Unfortunately, 
it lags somewhat behind ActionForms/Validator in terms of usability and documentation.

In Jetspeed 2.0 there is talk of facilitating Struts actions as an alternative 
strategy for portlet development.  However, I don't know the current status on it.  
AFAIK, 2.0 is in the very early stages development as it is the JSR-168 compliant 
version of Jetspeed.

Lately I have been working on re-factoring a lot of the core portlet action model in 
Jetspeed 1.4x.  If you have any suggestions on how to integrate struts actions into 
the mix, I would be happy to hear them.
