I'm not sure I understand your problem. You'll need to create four distinct Address objects, you can't reuse then for different fields, but as long as you're doing that, I don't see a problem. Here's some psuedo-code, assuming Address has a pair of constructors - one with individual arguments and one copy constructor:
cust = dao.getCustomer(...); cust.contactAddress = new Address(form.contacttreet, ...); cust.companyAddress = new Address(form.companyStreet, ...); cust.deliveryAddress = new Address(cust.contactAddress); cust.billingAddress = new Address(cust.companyAddress); dao.saveCustomer(cust); cheers, barneyb On Sun, Jan 4, 2009 at 2:16 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi list, > > in our freshly build Java B2B-Shop-Customer-System (build from scratch, based > on Hibernate.
