   I just checked your sources. It looks great. Using
reflection and a naming convention for automatic event
binding is a great step forward. 

  Also binding form fields to Java beans a la Struts
or WebWork is a great idea. Later on you might wonna
consider switching over to using POJOs (=plain old
java objects) for your data beans and use the IoC
(=inversion of control) pattern.

  Let me know if you want to merge your source with
the Luxor main branch or if you want to create a new
"light-weight" alternative package. You're more than
welcome to do so.
