I know this is a bit open-ended, but, here is goes. I have a somewhat complicated form. It is the classic Order / OrderLine problem. I have an order, within it, there is >1 order lines. The order lines are arranged as a tree so that they can be grouped together by the user. For each order line, there is a list of options that are different based on what is being ordered. I have all this populating via hibernate. The orderlines and their list of options are stored as java.util.Map's. I am displaying this information on a form directly from the hibernate beans. Now, it is time to allow the user to edit the information.
I think that I should be populating a form bean from the hibernate bean instead of using the hibernate bean directly. Correct? If so, what should the bean look like? The same as the hibernate bean? Seems like I am writing things down in 2 places. Is there an easier way to do this? Should I be looking at DynaForms instead?
