I am currently developing a Struts/OJB app and have not yet nutted out the architectural issues/design ... have been reading Core J2EE Patterns and Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture. OJB caches a read object so that I do not wish to pass that actual instance up to the View layer for editing ....IOW that instance only changes when an updated version is persisted. So in essence I need to create a session copy of my domain model from its persisted state to be available for editing (business transactions). But as this is a object with a collection of other editable objects it seems that creating a type of Value Object or session copy is not that trivial.
