'model/domain/business' objects that do need to get populated?  Sure in a 
simple form it's easy,
but real life is a different story. Many times you get back objects that are 
nested in
Collections...

As I said, the problem is you're using model objects for input. Don't do that. 
Your "load" action
should convert the specific and limit poritions of your intended user input 
into the Form;
probably a list of Strings. In your "save" action, you convert them back into 
the model object.

Very rarely do I ever need nested objects in Struts, in my experience. I've 
done Struts for about
3 years now and I think only one time I had to do it in a big business 
application. Usually, all
the user needs to do is update a simple list; so typically you can pull out all 
your nested data
into a simple array.
