I agree - very true - but we did not use entity beans (we've found them to
be slow in the past and the data we're working with doesn't really fit the
"entity bean mold" so to speak) -- only session beans taking advantage of
JDBC, etc. :(
Some of our tables have over 90 columns, thus having our own object made
sense from a re-usability perspective. I guess we could have put
getters/setters on the bean itself - but we use the data objects elsewhere,
so it has been useful too. :)

I think there is a better way, we just call the ejb from the action servlet
and fill in the appropriate data. The best architect for entity beans is to
have session beans in front of them anyway, so any methods you need you put
in a session bean, and call with the appropriate fields.

We are doing so right now - all we had to do was create an additional class
that has all the getters/setters of the ActionForm for a particular screen
or set of screens. Then call all the sets from the Action and pass the
object along to the EJB. That's it. :) No tangible performance loss/gain.
(BTW, any better ways of doing this for future reference?) :)

Yes, I've done this. Difficult is a relative term. If you know ejb and you
know struts, no it's not difficult.

Has anyone implemented Struts with EJBs for business logic. If so, was it
difficult? Also, does anyone know of any performance statistics for Struts?
Thanks,
