Hi, i am a relative inexperienced developer. I have worked with a couple of presentation frameworks and there is a feature i would really like to have, that no framework i know has. Here the thing: sometimes i do not like to have getters and setters for all my classes because of my domain modeling. And also do not like to define a bean on the web tier for each class i want to create from the UI and then populate or create a model object from it (i think sometimes this is useful, but many times it is duplicated work). So what i would really like is to somehow define on the html pages, that certain parameters are part of the constructor of certain class. I just want you to know that i have no idea if this is possible, just would like to have it as a developer using a web framework. A very rough example would be something like this:
<t:form ....> <input t:type="TextField" t:constructorParamIndex="0" object="item" t:id="..."/> <input t:type="TextField" t:value="item.value1" t:id="..."/> </t:form> So in my dreams :) this would do something like this: * Get the item class. * create a new instance (newItem) of that class using a constructor and using the first textfield as the first parameter. * invoke newItem.setValue1(...) or set via reflection the value defined on the second textfield. I know that there are lots of holes on this idea, but basically i think the idea is not very complicated. Maybe there is already a nice and simple solution to this, and i am not familiar with it. If not, i would like to know how hard would it be to implement, maybe i will give it a shot. Thanks for your time. Best regards. Manuel.
