Well, the main features I'm after is the MVC model: i.e. the Controller with 
it's action mappings, the Actions and the Form handling. I really like how 
the ActionForms create a nice request handling and user entry model. The 
validate() method, the custom tags that populate with data if you have the 
form in the Request, etc.

I guess we could extend the controller (if that's the right class) so that it 
would automatically populate our beans rather than the ActionForms... what do 
you think?

How does the populating the ActionForm from the request data after the post 
work?

Many thanks in advance!

Mike
