Doing more with "auto beans" is being discussed for the 1.1 timefreame.
Meanwhile, the latest builds support the next best thing: You can
define generic data beans for your business logic data, and then make
these instance variables on your action forms. The HTML form tags now
support a nested syntax like this:
<html:text property="mailingAddress.street"/>
and the appropriate processing will be applied to get the street
address (for initial display) and set the street address (when the form
is processed).
Of course, you still have to define the accessor and mutators for your
generic data beans, but it's a step in the right direction!

setter
and getter methods....
I found an
article(http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1201-struts.htm

describing one way of doing this, and I would be interested in hearing
some
feedback on doing it that way.
Thanks,
