I've used the OJB objects and collections directly, since they *are* my VO.
There is no need to maintain any kind of "open session", even if you are using proxies (OJB will care about opening a database session to load object on demand)... I never used OJB + EJB, so I can' tell you how this could work in a distributed environment.
But with JSP accessing local datasources, I had no problems.


Copying object to other objects/collections could lead into unecessary overhead.

I expect this helps.

Hi there ... :-)

I'm involved in a small project to convert from a
Hibernate backend, to OJB.


The presentation tier uses Struts and JSTL to render
pages.

I was wondering how you OJB handles collections
attached to objects, that need to be rendered in the
JSP pages. For example, if I have an Order object that
contains a collection of OrderLines, and I want to
create a page to display the whole order, then what is
the bst way to handle this?

Is it best to copy the whole Order and OrderLines into
some kind of VO, and then send that to the page? Or do
you use the Hibernate approach of leaving the session
open for the whole request cycle, so that the JSTL on
the page, can access the collection directly from the
Order object?

Hope that makes sense ... :-)
