As you can see from the responses, you have a variety of options. Another option (I guess Niall forgot to mention) is to use your VO directly. Declare your VO as the form bean type, and Struts will use a BeanValidatorForm and wrap it with a WrapDynaBean. Really, though, you don't need to be aware of the underlying stuff to start using it. When the form is submitted, call the form bean's getInstance() to get your populated VO (requires the nightly build). Take note, though, that there are good reasons to limit a form bean to strings and boolean fields, so I'd suggest taking a look at both LazyDynaForms and FormDef.
