| <P> |
| <p>An <strong>ActionForm</strong> is a JavaBean optionally associated with |
| one or more <code>ActionMappings</code>. Such a bean will have had its |
| properties initialized from the corresponding request parameters before |
| the corresonding action's <code>perform()</code> method is called.</p> |
| |
| <p>When the properties of this bean have been populated, but before the |
| <code>perform()</code> method of the action is called, this bean's |
| <code>validate()</code> method will be called, which gives the bean a chance |
| to verify that the properties submitted by the user are correct and valid. |
| If this method finds problems, it returns an error messages object that |
| encapsulates those problems, and the controller servlet will return control |
| to the corresponding input form. Otherwise, the <code>validate()</code> |
| method returns <code>null()</code>, indicating that everything is acceptable |
| and the corresponding Action's <code>perform()</code> method should be |
| called.</p> |
| |
| <p>This class must be subclassed in order to be instantiated. Subclasses |
| should provide property getter and setter methods for all of the bean |
| properties they wish to expose, plus override any of the public or |
| protected methods for which they wish to provide modified functionality. |
