To a certain extent, this consequence is 'historical'. If the formbean api had been decided not to tie up to the Struts and servlet API, we would not see this dependency problem. So, I think one outcome of this discussion is: 'does it make sense to "correct" this historical issue to allow less restrictive usage of formbean by changing the formbean api?' To me, the discussion is getting a bit religious, pragmatism vs idealistism. On one hand, from my consulting experience, I share Vic's sentiment. On the other hand, I find it's inelegant when the boundary of the layers gets blur.
