The DynaActionForm is great if you like to write scripting type code. I'd rather use encapsulation. Otherwise you'll have the same code repeated in a lot of your actions.
-----Original Message----- From: Benedict, Paul C [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 21, 2005 11:04 AM To: struts-user@jakarta.apache.org Subject: ActionForm vs. DynaActionForm What are the advantages and disadvantages of choosing ActionForm vs. DynaActionForm? I ask this because I always found DynaActionForm to be more valuable ... until a co-worker picked my brain. He did not like the lack of type information at compile time. I agreed. Also, I don't know how well DynaActionForms work with AOP ala Xdoclet. Furthermore, JSF uses "backing beans" which are real beans, and they more resemble ActionForm objects than the latter. I have read this article too: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/srikanth/archive/2004/01/actionform_or_d.html <http://weblogs.java.net/blog/srikanth/archive/2004/01/actionform_or_d.html> Does anyone have any professional opinions and experience on this matter?
