Thanks for the feedback.

Why wouldn't I want to nest forms?

Because how are you going to populate them and create them all? For example, imagine the case where you needed to a master detail edit of company employees (granted this might not be a practical example, but using this to explain the point)).


The hierachy might look like...
   Company Object
      Store objects
         Division Objects
             Emloyee Objects

So before doing your mass edit for display, your backend might be giving you a "Company" object which iniside has Stores and inside stores is a collection of Divisions (accounting, sales) and then in each division is a list of Employee objects.

For this example we then want to edit the employees. So in your scenario you'll have to create form beans for Company, Store, divions, employe and then somehow get them all created and nested within each other. Why do this when you can just have one form bean with "Company" as the property? Then you just nest iterate over the company, stores, devisions, employees, and you can thus edit the employees and hit submit and presto your Company business object is all nice and populated.

Explain to me how you would do the above while nesting form beans?
