Just a note on this subject.... You know that you can get absolutely sweet decoupling from everything struts for your data model with the use of nesting objects?... And no messy property copying!
I wanted to get a simple persistence mechanism running for my form object, so I placed a little serialization logic into my action (Some app servers need their session objects to serialize also, like iPlanet). The struts action form wouldn't serialize for me so all I did was add an extra nest level and serialized from there down leaving my entire structure nothing but the data that I wanted. All the child objects implement serializeable, extend nothing, and know nothing of struts. This is all elegantly managed in the JSP's with the use of the handy-dandy nesting extension. :) That's my two cents. If you want the code for what I just blabbed on about, mail me...
