Hi Myles, Some pros of using Stripes Forms that come to mind:
- with <s:form beanclass="com.myco.MyActionBean"> you see the fully-qualified class name of the action bean, giving you a clear indication of where the form will be submitted. - input tags such as <s:text name="..."/> automatically repopulate themselves with existing values, and also use the Stripes formatting mechanism. - <s:select> not only automatically reselects previously selected values, but also accepts nested <s:options-*> tags to easily generate options, also with localization support if you need it. - other tags such as <s:submit> also provide localization support. - <s:form> lets you use @Wizard on an action bean to easily create wizard forms. - a good JSP editor will provide validation on the syntax and required parameters. The only cons that I can think of is if you encounter situations where the Stripes tags somehow don't do what you need, or don't really provide any added value. In those rare cases you can try using plain HTML forms. Hope that helps.
