Patrick, you could use DynaActionForms and just have your VO as a property. You could unit test your VO's and the ActionForm is just a wrapper. DynaActionForms can be defined in your struts-config.xml file thus reducing the number of physical objects you have to maintain.
For updates, you will need some type of ActionForm to enable Struts to bind user input to your VO and to leverage the validation framework. For reads, you can simply place the VO in the appropriate scope and use JSTL or other tags to render its content. robert > -----Original Message----- > From: Patrick Beagan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, November 09, 2004 11:49 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: VO usage > > > I have an application that uses struts - ejbs - hibernate.
