What u mean by dynamically generating a form? Its a normal form(Extends ActionForm). And the action to deal with will be what ever action u define to achieve this functionality.It will be a very simple action. Home this clarifies the confusion.

I have this problem and i'm thinking of using standard java/jsp for this problem now.. As I'd have to pass an array of values and one form element to an action. Any thoughts on this issue will be gratfully recieved.
