Title: RE: [castor-dev] castor with struts?

Certainly not in the ActionForm classes! They only validate and do get/set. Don't initialise them from the database (well that's my opinion). I'd be inclined to send to an action that explicitly fills and returns the form.

 

As I said, probably in the action if it is small enough that your actions do most of the work, but if you have a lot of reuse, separate data handling classes could be designed in the model.

 

This is a good question for the struts list although you can probably find your answers in the archive. They won't deirectly relate to castor, but anything relating to where to do database access will suffice. Castor just reduces the amount of code to do that :)

Just a design question:  Would you put the persistence calls in the ActionForm classes?

Use it as you would anything else... I tend to put my persistence calls in the actions themselves, deeming it a control method (controlling the flow of data), but if the project was larger I'd write model classes to handle all of the data framework.

Does anyone have any experience using Castor with Struts.  I need a little
help getting started.  If somebody has a source example it would be greatly
appreciated.
