Is it the case that every Action MUST be associated with an ActionForm?
Next week I have to start converting an app to Struts, and one of the
assumptions I've been making is that I can just NOT associate any ActionForm
with the Actions. As you say it's not a big deal, I can just do the empty
form like you said, but I'd like to know if that's the only way...

Matt,
In your action class, you have the request and the response object which
will get you all your form elements
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws java.lang.Exception {
String xxx = ( String ) request.getParameter("xxx");
// now do anything with xxx
}
As far as configuring your action in the struts-config, you can associate
an
empty form to your action :
<form-beans>
<form-bean
name="emptyForm"
type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm"/>
</form-beans>
and then add 'name="emptyForm"' in your action mapping:
<action path="/yourAction"
type="your.action.type"
name="emptyForm"
scope="request"
>
<forward
name="..."
path="..."/>
</action>
I hope this is what you are looking for.

Hi all.
I have a form that is not a struts form bean (no actionform, no dynaform,
nothing...)
Is it possible to have this submit to a struts action, and read the form
elements somehow? I need to be able to read simple (String) elements as
well
as multi-part (formfile) elements from the form.
Any way to do it in struts, or do I just need to give up and make something
non-struts to do it?
Thanks,
Matt Bathje
