Re: Is it better to return list of formbeans or list of objects createdby torque?

[Vic Cekvenich]

What I do is my BaseFormBean implements a collection.

So it's both!
It has getters/setters.
When iterator or next() is called it goes to the next item in list. 
Because it simplifies, it makes more complex designs possible.

Others make each getter and Array[].

Hi,

I am using Torque with Struts.

I need to display some data from database in .jsp file.

I retrieve my data in action class as:

Criteria criteria = new Criteria;
List customerList = CustomerPeer.doSelect(criteria)
Now I have a list populated with objects made by Torque..?

I would like to return a list of formbeans presenting the customer
instead of these objects.
Something like:

List customerList = (myCustomerFormBean)CustomerPeer.doSelect(criteria);

Is it possible to cast a CustomerPeer object to formbean? If not
how should I do this?
Should I even try to return formbeans or is ok to use objects?
Formbeans should be lighter as least???
Thanks in advance,

Ville Kaseva
