Hi, in my company we are writing a new J2EE application using Struts. So far we've used standard JSP/Servlet technology. HTML forms processed from within our Servlets, processing the HttpRequest object. We sent data to JSPs under the form of Value Objects which JSTL has managed well.
Now I'm learning that with Struts there are ActionForm objects when using HTML forms: however, although we are fine about using Actions for any significant "client's action", as regards forms, we would like to maintain our current strategy (HTML plain forms processed through HttpRequest, VOs and JSTL). First question: Is there any reason why we shouldnt' maintain our current approach? Or why we should use ActionForms? Second question: where could I find the major differences between 1.1 and 1.2? Thank you and regards, Marco Tedone (SCJP, SCBCD)
