Ahh yes, the same J2EE struggles with property setting. As Doug says you do not want to be calling a million setters on a remote object. You are better off refactoring this to either create a new Value Object, or to treat your existing class itself as a value object.
So rather then getting a remote reference to say UserProfileForm, then calling a million getters and setters, I would create a POJO which returns the UserProfileForm as a return type. Then call all your setters locally, and pass it back up to the server as the parameter to another POJO method call. The second option is to add a new Value Object property to the UserProfileForm. Again create the stub, call all the setters on the local value object, then call one call on the UserProfileForm to return this coarsly grained Value Object. You need to keep network calls in mind in your architecture. There is a graveyard filled with failed J2EE projects who ignored the network and the effects of not architecting around seriously reducing the number and size of remote calls. -- Dave Wolf Cynergy Systems, Inc.
