You're quite right, the scenario you described would be very inefficient. But in the same sentence I assume those 50 - 60 items are reference data (Countries, UOMs etc) and to hit the database to get a list of data like that every time would in my eyes be expensive even for each user. A façade or any other caching mechanism could hold those pieces of data to be retrieved by the form when needs be.
Enough already, I have had a Stella and am ranting (Fired by today's drivel OT conversations). I find the session forms annoying from my perspective as I use them in a Wizard based approach (Back and Next) which handles creates and updates so I have to be really careful about what I do and don't reset. I would love a tag I could drop into my forms to copy properties to the next request form without having to describe the underlying data, as suggested. In fact I like this idea so much that I am going to crack on with it, I may let you know how I get on if it is a worthy solution. -----Original Message----- From: Phani [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 June 2005 17:38 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Passing collection Objects from html form to Action class Tell me which is performance efficient & desired way: Putting the form in session or making a trip to the database.. assuming we have collection of 50 - 60 records..
