This question is from the table of contents of a text book. I dont have this book in hand. I have other questions also. Why ActionForm is made Struts dependent ?. Why not use just plain JavaBean whch can be used as TransferObject. ? rgds Antony Paul --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
