For input, I would suggest that you create an ActionForm for each
DataPackage.
For output, I would suggest that you create a custom tag that can access
the DataPackage fields directly.
Using ActionForms to represent larger views of the data is an
interesting topic, but I'm not sure if it applies to your project, if
the DataPackages are "basically a map of the database table", and your
application can input to one DataPackage at a time.
