struts' ActionServlet . That would mean that a form bean would have to
follow the standard for struts, which is to have getter and setter methods
for each field being stored. 

It looks like the Struts 1.1 has a DynaBean which may allow this (although
you may still have to define all of the properties in struts-config.xml).
But, from previous conversation, I think struts 1.1 in Expresso is a bit
away...

Mike,
you're right, now I see what I was missing.
I'd rather not write my own ControllerForms though, as this seems to be a 
lot of extra work to me.
Now, I have modified the DefaultForm to extend the ControllerForm. It seems 
to work: the StateForm is instantiated in State.perform(). But I must admit 
that I don't know if it's ok to do that. Do you have any idea's?
