I am not suggestign you create a new business object. I am suggesting you create a new object for input purposes. You need a transport layer between your model and the web; thus you have an ActionForm. But you need to pad your ActionForm with additional objects because of the complexity of your app. > You are creating an identical object to the exisiting POJO where the only > > difference is changing a few of the property types (ie number or date to String). No. You only create properties for the values you need for INPUT. As I said in previous emails, if you have a business object with 50 properties but only need to capture input for 3, your input object only needs 3 properties.
