How can I create forms without defining it in the struts-config.xml? I mean I want o use my own config and generate a HTML form with Struts action handling.
Take a look at LazyDynaBean and LazyValidatorForm. There's some information on the wiki:
http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsCatalogLazyList section 2.4 .
A developer on my team developed a system to retrieve survey configuration data from a database and present it to users in Struts. This involved dynamic form creation and validation. The gist was that a PlugIn, when initialized, used database data to create and register DynaForms. I believe it was a subclass of DynaActionValidatorForm which could interact with this same PlugIn to do the Survey specific validation (where the rules came from the database) while delegating validation for any standard fields (like contact info) to normally configured validator XML.
As Wendy points out, now that there are LazyValidatorForms, this would probably be simpler, because you would only need to extend the validation method, and could probably skip defining new form classes.
