Done.
Another question on this same topic. How would I create a custom converter
that changes my POJOs into ActionForms? Currently, I do this the
(seemingly) hard way:
// get HSCRFMaster (with children) from persistence layer
HSCRFMasterDAO formDAO = factory.createHSCRFMasterDAO();
HSCRFMaster h = formDAO.getHSCRFMaster(Long.valueOf(form.getId()));
// create form for the UI and populate
HSCRFMasterForm hscrfForm = new HSCRFMasterForm();
BeanUtils.copyProperties(hscrfForm, h);
// loop through the Mux List and use forms instead of POJOs
ArrayList muxList = hscrfForm.getMuxs();
for (int i = 0; i < muxList.size(); i++) {
HSCRFMux m = (HSCRFMux) muxList.get(i);
// create form for the UI and populate
HSCRFMuxForm muxForm = new HSCRFMuxForm();
BeanUtils.copyProperties(muxForm, m);
muxList.set(i, muxForm);
}
hscrfForm.setMuxs(muxList);
I'd love to have the copyProperties do the work of creating forms for the
children. All my ActionForms are generated using XDoclet, so they have the
same name as the POJO + the word "Form".
Thanks,
Matt
