The first is I've been taking my data models and making beans out of them as I should ya? So a user in my "portal" let's call has a UserBean with get() set() methods for each of the properties. But for for registering a user, struts requires a FormBean. So I've repurposed the same data model bean and made it a form bean. Is this good or bad?
Do you have 2 identical classes , which are solely different by that they are implementing another interface or extending an abstract class? Can't you make a wrapper class from your FormBean which wraps the UserBean? You can do this by means of 'delegation'. I think that it's better to use delegation instead of keeping 2 copies of the data model( one in the userbean and one in the formbean).
