Struts ActionForms |
ActionForms should not contain business objects (to be explained soon). (What we use to advocate - to be corrected soon...you can stuff biz objects directly into a an ActionForm (and not flatten them out; i.e. you don't need to create fields in the form for each field in the biz object). Struts is able to deal with populating and returning nested objects. For example, you might have a "customer" bean on your ActionForm, and then refer to the property "customer.name" in your presentation page. This would correspond to the methods customer.getName() and customer.setName(String Name) on your customer bean. See the Apache Struts Taglib Developer Guides for more about using the nested syntax.)
