Please note that I have not used the items I am about to tell you about :-) That having been said:
DynaForms - from what I understand, they will "suck up" anything and poke it in a hash. I'm not sure whether you could use this - or maybe DynaBeans - but, from my (limited) understanding of them, I think you probably could. Internally, as I said, they poke things into a hash. Now ... hrm ... I need to catch up on the new Struts features :-) I really think you can acheive this. To get someone elses attention, post a new topic about "Help with DynaBeans/DynaForms". That's nearly certain to get someone's attention.
