Struts is an excellent framework for simple forms with a static number of fields on them, but when you need to present a fairly dynamic form, struts starts to stumble pretty quickly.
Today the customer came to me with a change request to add text inputs next to what had previously just been a dynamic list of 'options' from the database:
(*new column*)
[x] Option 1 ______________
[ ] Option 2 ______________
[ ] Option N ______________
Before the text input change request came in, struts multibox handled the form perfectly. But now, there now a good choice in the struts tool box to solve this. Here is a decent reference to the a similar problem:

Their solution seems like a little overkill for this problem.
