My only comment is that it seems we're throwing a lot of technology at a problem that could be solved by putting an empty DynaActionForm in the Struts config, and just referring to that. Perhaps something like:
<form-bean name="buttonForm" type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaForm" />
That doesn't solve the problem if you want to use html:input tags when you haven't created the form-beans yet. That's kind of a corner case, but we are gradually getting non-developers who can write JSPs and tags ok but haven't yet learned struts-config syntax. Eventually I hope that they will, and then this might not be so important.
I still prefer to err on the side of permissiveness -- a blank form rather than a stack trace.
