Hi all, I have the following situation. I have a Vo model that is in essence a domain/business object model. Of course, a particular screen doesn't need the entire model to be loaded with data. So, what I was thinking is 1) Make all class variables objects (as opposed to primitives, most are objects anyway) 2) Make all class variables NULL, unless I need it for a particular screen.
This way, I won't have to carry data around the wire that I don't need. The question I have is this. What performance hit, if any, do I get by passing around an object with null pointers in it? How do they get serialized? Is this a good idea in general or am I just imagining that passing around null pointers saves me "THAT MUCH"? Thanks, Yaakov. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
