Some folks may be as pig-headed as me or may need to use LazyDynaBeans
as they are translating
from struts1 to struts2. After fooling around, I figured it out but it
is pretty clear to me this is not the way to go.
Below is a simple example.

public final class MyAction extends ActionSupport implements ModelDriven{

  private LazyDynaBean f = new LazyDynaBean();
  public String execute() throws Exception {
   
    String[] text_field = (String[])f.get("text_field");
    //do something with the text_field that came from LazyDynaBean
as a String array
         return SUCCESS;
  }
 
 public Object getModel(){
    return f;
  }
}

<s:form action="MyAction">
  <s:textfield name="map.text_field" />
  <s:submit />
</s:form>

<validators>
  <field name="map.text_field">
    <field-validator type="required">
       <message>Text Field is required.</message>
    </field-validator>
  </field>
</validators>

There were 2 things that bit me:
1. You have to get the field name from map.text field so that
s:textfield can get it from the "map" on the valuestack and
2. The textfield seems to get a String[] rather than a String and I
don't have any idea how to do it differently.
