Has anyone had any luck getting hibernate to work with dynaforms in struts? I've searched but seen no mention of that. That would allow us to go almost completely XML away from getter/setter time w/ automatic validations.

I'm willing to help make a plugin, extension to do this if other people want to lend comments, suggestions, or requests.

FYI: dynaforms are runtime form data holders instead of classes w/ data members

Hibernate 3 has support for dynamic map-based beans. That 's probably the closest you'll get. I'm not sure that a DynaForm would be proxy-able in Hibernate. The kind of introspection the Struts BeanUtils does probably wouldn't work, but it'd be interesting to hear about any experiments you make. Perhaps you could do it using a custom Hibernate Interceptor? Dunno. Going out on a limb with that.

i use only pojo + dynavalidator forms where i put (most of the cases) only one property name="pojo" type="pojo class"

this is my root class, behind i can easily access all the network graph.

you'll need adaptaters
