Inject into a Struts form bean?

[azzoti]

I've got a struts form bean defined like this:

<form-bean name="itemForm" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorFor m">
<form-property name="art" type="com.xxx.struts.ArtForStruts" />
</form-bean>

And struts creates an instance of ArtForStruts whenever the (Spring proxied) action is invoked.

<action path="/EditItem" type="org.springframework.web.struts.DelegatingAct ionProxy"
name="itemForm" scope="request" parameter="method" validate="false">
<forward name="edit" path="/EditItem.jsp" contextRelative="true" />
</action>

Now i'd like to inject some dependencies into ArtForStruts. Am I right in thinking that the best (tm) way of doing this is to use a proxy in place of com.xxx.struts.ArtForStruts in the form-bean definition and then have ArtForStruts as the target? Would ProxyFactoryBean do the trick?
