Hi,

I'm just today getting around to having a peek at the new
DynaActionForm. I'm slightly confused as to how useful this is, in a
setting in which you don't know at compile-time what fields you're going
to need to ask for.

Let's say for example I'm introspecting a JDBC table for a list of
columns and types, and want to dynamically build a form for CRUD
operations on this table. Or, instead of a JDBC table, maybe I want to
assemble a form out of an XML DTD or Schema.

I see that I can build an ActionForm class to hold values for this
table, out of DynaClasses (I'm basically already doing this in the
Simper project).

Where I'm missing something is, are there new Struts JSP tags for
building an HTML form out of a DynaActionForm? I don't see them, but
perhaps I'm missing the obvious.

If the answer is, "There are no new JSP tags for building HTML forms out
of DynaActionForms", then I'm wondering just how useful DynaActionForm
is without it... What's a typical use case for it?

Thanks,

Bryan
