Why ActionForm is class not interface?

[Kousik Majumder]

Hi all,

Can somebody tell me why ActionForm is a class not an interface?

I could have made it an interface and the corresponding implementing class and can use that.

Thanks & regards,

I can only speculate at the intentions of the developers (you could always search the developer mailing lists) but what jumps out at me is that it declares instance variables and methods that do things. One can't do that with an interface.
