Struts dynaforms

A dynaform, or dynamic form bean, is a type of Java bean.

For a generic form bean, create both a form bean and a form-bean mapping. To create a dynaform, you only need to create a form-bean mapping; a form bean will be dynamically created for you at run time. However, the form-bean mapping required to specify a dynaform is substantially more complex than that required merely to complement a generic form bean.

A dynaform is an instance of a DynaActionForm class or subclass that stores HTML form data from a submitted client request or that stores input data from a link that a user clicked.
