Yes - a little, but we're still new to servlets/Turbine, so I thought we'd save that
for later/version 2...

Yes, I'm keeping the validate - although I've still to work out how to get field level
messages, especially re-mandatory fields - I want to try centralise the validation bit
and getting an error indication - since its basically the same code.

I agree with the proper wrappers bit, but don't get me onto MVC (ie
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-09-1999/jw-09-toolbox.html )
I've gone the get/set route for now (but with my getElement -nee getHtml method ;-) )
- it was fairly easy once I got started - I'm at the point of sorting out field level
validations and of course saving to the db...
See ya,
Chris
