Though I really don't think the whole idea of generating ActionForm from
ejb is a good thing, but I do think that ejb->form is better than
form->ejb.

The case is really similar to dataobjects. In fact I think it's more
correct to generate an ActionForm by deriving it from the generated
dataobject. But how to handle the validate method? I think the answer is
a separate Validator object that operates on this ActionForm, more in
par with javabeans' propertylistener/etc, and it can be used by both web
tier and ejb tier.

That's the 'pattern' I have in my mind about it.
