Hello, I have the feeling, that what I am doing can be done more elegant without hardcoding db schema information into a java bean.
I am using java beans to transport data through the different steps of a CMS (inside a session). Users are a adding data in every step to a bean representing a db relation. When the wizard is completed the bean knows how to write to the db. That's how a bean looks like: class ArticleBean { private String user; private String text; ... public void setUser(String val) {..} public void setText(String val) {..} ... public void saveToDb() throws SQLException { Statement st = conn.createStatement(); st.execute("INSERT INTO article (user, text, pic, abstract, keyword')", Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS); .... ResultSet res = st.getGeneratedKeys(); res.first(); this.id = res.getInt("id"); } ... As this is a java bean, I actually don't need to tell the query that it should do this with table "article" and how its attributes are. This information is allready in the setter- getter methods and so on. The best would be to generate such beans from the dbs schema information only. Is there a way to make this more efficient and without duplicate information. Thanks in advance.
