Does this somehow give you the ability to post XML data to a struts
framework and have it mapped to an ActionForm properly? A complaint I've
often heard about struts is it does not map XML data elements to ActionForm
bean elements. If you want to post XML data from , let's say, a browser and
map that to an ActionForm it is completely manual.

Please
respond to

Well, it is a quiet popular tool but i am a bit new to this sort of
technologies and to be honest have been very much into JDBC and having
problems with managing both Castor and struts. But once you get the idea of
the frame work, i have heard that life becomes much more simpler.

Zille, I am researching CastorJDO as an alternative to writing DAO (Data
Access Objects). That is, currently I have to write all the SQL to
interact with a database table. It would be nice to perform persistence in
a Java-centric way as opposed to having to write all the SQL. So, to
answer your question, no I am not familiar with Castor mapping tools but
have done quite a bit of research on the Struts framework. I currently
research CasterJDO as a possible alternative to brute force DAO.

Hello Zillle,
If I understand you correctly, you have a bean that performs a simple
query and you want to incorporate some business logic. I would create
a separate object/bean for to perform the business logic and it can
delegate the appropriate responsibilities to the simple query bean
that you have already created. IMHO, this allows your simple query
bean to be reused.
HTH.

Subject: struts and castor
I am using struts with castor
Now this is how I go about it
1. create the JSP
2. Then the XXXForm.java, XXXAction.java for struts
In the XXXAction.java file I define the Query to be
used with the Castor and make the castor connection.
In the XXXAction.java file the forwarding to the URL or
success or failure is defined.
3. Then I have the bean which is being refered to in the Query.
Through this bean data is being read and inserted into the
datbase.
4. Mapping of the bean's attribute.
No if I want to incorporate any business logic in any bean,
which one should it be, should i create a seperate bean or
should i use the bean on Number 3.
Any help would be appreciated more than ever
