You are right that there is no need to create a form bean if you are using
dyna form.
However if you want to link your form with the validation framework then you
do need to create a local form bean. This form bean would not have any
attributes and their getter and setter methods as they all are defined in
Struts config.
All it would contain is a validate method with a call to super.validate().
Please refer to the sample code in my last note for reference.
