Think of the form bean (or form beans, plural) as the state of some portion
of the total number of text boxes, radio buttons and other user input,
regardless of the page(s) on which it all appears.    It's an object that
describes the state of the user-editable portions of the web page you just
served up.

The concept of a "state bean" shows up in the Struts user guide, and is an
attempt to describe a good design pattern, viz. that you keep the state of
your *application* separate from the web-related bits of your application.
It is not a necessary thing to get Struts up and working.  Struts, for
example, does not have any class called a StateBean, or anything like it.

Cheers,
Laird
