Hello....
I'm currently designing a web application.  The admin module is assigned to me so 
there's
this scenario where the administrator can retrieve and update a user profile. I'm
planning to design it in a way where the retrieving of the user profile is through a 
data
access object, which directly access the database and returns a value object that
represents the user profile. The rationale for such design is because retrieving user
profile entity bean is not efficient since it will only be used for displaying purposes
only.  On the other hand, for updating the user profile, the servlet will retrieve the
entity bean and update it through the setter methods.  My question is "Is this the 
right
way of doing it cause I think it's kind of inconsistent" or "Should I also use the 
entity
bean for displaying the user profile?"

I got this idea where the web tier directly accesses the database in the Pet Store
Example (The Catalog). But the difference is that the system doesn't update the 
catalog.

Please guide me.

thanks in advance...
Jerson
