Hi,

    I have developed a couple of very simple ARP projects that deal with a list of things that do not change, e.g. the PizzaService idea was developed so that the Pizza model became an Image and the OrderVO became a ProductVO that has a number of Images associated with it.

    I now wish to extend this idea to develop a gallery application with facilities to edit images, galleries, etc.

    Because I want to load up a list of Image Models, I am assuming that I would have some kind of ImageListVO that contains Image Models ~ OrderVO. 

    But, because I want to change the contents of these Image Models and save them back to the server, does this mean that they should essentially become VO's?

    The question I am trying to get an answer to is; "when does a Model become a VO?".

    The next question is "
How do I deal with Lists of VO's?" - I am guessing I need some sort of container for these, but if my container is a Gallery it has editable properties too.

    I have looked into a couple of patterns such as Value List Handler on the J2EE site, but the concept of a Transfer Object, as opposed to a Value Object , has confused.

    Any help, better links and direction would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.
