You can use struts framework without formbean, without validation, without error handling ...
But doing so, struts will be a less powerfull framework. You can begin with just a mapping, an Action that does what you want and a JSP. Adding a formbean will allow you see that Struts maintains data from HTML to Action. You should add validation and error handling, and you will have your first struts example, manipulating your datas with just one formBean / action. create JSP <-> view JSP <-> update JSP <-> FormBean <-> Action ( <-> Database ? ) Nico. > Am just starting with the framework.
