By having a TO in my form bean , I still use validate and reset methods. e.g.
Check validity of user.getName() in validate method Where my jsp field is <html-el:text property="user.name" size="35" /> UserForm has getUser() and setUser() methods And as far as TOs are concerned they are auto-generated during build process ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yves Sy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Struts Users Mailing List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 1:16 PM Subject: RE: ActionForm and Transfer Object The problem with that approach is you'll end up putting your validation code in your TO and you'll have to write your own error handling routine too. If you use ActionForms, you can save time by taking advantage of Struts' error handling mechanism via the validate() method and checkbox handling via the reset() method.
