Great Question, If I was to use an ActionForm to populate my presentation layer, how would I go about it. Would I use a struts tag, or this jstl I hear people going on about (I know one day I should rtfm). An example of displaying a value as text in my JSP from a form bean (myform) with property firstName would be greatly appreciated.

This make life easy and consistent for the JSP developers as it gives a consistent interface. I am more than willing to pop these up somewhere so you can have a look, if it helps.

For capturing data we use ActionForms! But how do you display data (from your model) nicely? Send Businesobjects, Businessobjects stuffed in Beans, ActionForm or something else to the view layer?
