The prepare() method task is to retrive the model
and store it as an instance variable.
The getModel() method will later return the model
when asked by the framework that will put it on the
value stack.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Best regards.

If your getModel() puts the model entity on an instance variable, won't
that confuse the param interceptor?
Depends on what instance variable you put it in, I suppose. One of your
questions was how to access the model object w/o running through a
getModel()
method that would re-instantiate; lazily initializing an instance
variable in
getModel() then using that instance variable is one way of dealing
with that.
OK, that makes sense now, thanks. What I thought would be the more
obvious way of obtaining the model would be to fetch it from where
struts puts it when it calls getModel(), i.e. the value stack, however I
don't see any access methods for doing that, particulary on ActionSupport.
