> Support JavaBeans in action form
> --------------------------------
>
>          Key: BPM-215
>          URL: http://jira.andromda.org/browse/BPM-215
>      Project: Bpm4Struts Cartridge
>         Type: Improvement

>     Versions: 3.1M1
>     Reporter: Roland Szabo
>     Assignee: Wouter Zoons
>     Priority: Minor
>      Fix For: 3.4-SNAPSHOT

> It would be nice if the cartridge could utilize the nested property feature 
> of Struts. That would allow for the modeller to use JavaBeans as parameters 
> for controller methods, instead of listing every single property. The 
> controllers would have methods like:
> +loadCustomer(customer : Customer)
> This would mean that there is a Customer object in the generated form, called 
> customer. This would also simplify the implementation of the controller, as 
> most likely the Business Logic classes return a Customer object, or something 
> like that anyway, there would be no need to copy the fields.
> Then the events could contain parameters like:
> customer.id : datatype::int
> customer.name : datatype::String
> These would correspond to the properties of the customer object in the 
> session object. Similar to the generated Dummy classes for tables, it would 
> be possible to create dummy classes here too.
> Struts supports populating the nested properties, however, the nested class 
> must not be null when this occurs, otherwise an exception is thrown. This 
> could be achieved by requiring a default constructor for the nested class (it 
> should be a JavaBean anyway) and then initializing the nested fields like:
> TestBean nested = new TestBean()
> or writing special property getter with lazy initialization:
> TestBean getNested() {
>   if (nested == null) nested = new TestBean();
>   return nested;
> }
> This behaviour could be recursive, meaning customer.address.street would mean 
> that there is a further JavaBean as the address property of the customer 
> object, which has a street property. (Struts allows this)
