I'm not sure if there is an accepted general way of packaging an app. I'll describe what we're doing on my current project to give you an example, though:
com.companyname.neti com.companyname.neti.ejb com.companyname.neti.ejb.model - contains all DTO type objects com.companyname.neti.ejb.delegate - contains a business delegate that hides all EJB implementation details com.companyname.neti.ejb.facade - contains all EJB code (in this case, facade beans) - actually only the Bean classes, beause we're using EJBGen to generate the rest com.companyname.neti.ejb.persistence - contains any entity EJBs all of com.companyname.neti.ejb gets packaged into a JAR com.companyname.neti.web - contains general classes used within the web portion of the app com.companyname.neti.web.action - contains struts actions com.companyname.neti.web.form - contains struts forms com.companyname.neti.web.taglib - contains taglibs all of com.companyname.neti.web gets pacakges into a WAR. There's also a "common" set of classes that get packaged into a separate JAR to be used by both the EJB JAR and the WAR. the JAR and the WAR get packaged into an EAR. We have some more layers and components in there, but to simplify it a bit, I left those out.

Business Objects (BO's) 2. Data Access Objects (DAO's) 3. Value Objects (VO's) 4. Data transfer objects (DTO's) All of the above I know is part of the Model(M) in MVC architecture.I think that Value Objects and DTO's are the same , and they have setters and getters.Correct me if I am wrong. What is the general way of packaging a struts application? like if my companyname is www.companyname.neti will probably have an application or context as applicationname as its name. I would like my business logic to be independent from the struts specific controller(action classes) . I also know the package should start with net.companyname.applicationname. Thanks in advance.
