which probelm u wouldn't have if u used webwork -----Original Message----- From: Viral_Thakkar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 04, 2003 9:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Direct ValueObject creation rather than ActionForm.
Yes, I agree that it is not good programming to replace the ActionForm with ValueObject. But let me know your view about having both ActionForm and ValueObject and use some kind of mapping to get the ValueObject instance from the ActionForm instance. Example is available at http://www.mycgiserver.com/~andrej/technical/struts/struts.jsp Here usage of vo = FormToVOMapper.map(form, new ExampleVO()); is shown. Please suggest me whether this is good to use such mapping to get the valueobject instance and also do they support all possible datatypes and different mappings. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Kalra, Ashwani [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 10:57 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Direct ValueObject creation rather than ActionForm. One drawback. ActionForm classes import classes from http packages. which binds it to the particular layer.
