I'm loving them. Chuck has shown me the light:)
You should read this chapter here
http://www.theserverside.com/resources/strutsreview.jsp
you might have to register if you aren't (free).
At the bottom he talks about DynaForms.
RK in terms of
RK -- using them with a validator
Piece of cake. I'm using
type=org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm
to define the dynaForm in the struts-config.xml
RK -- transferring the data to a value object aka data tranfer object to hsip
RK it to the next layer
Very easy also. It's only slightly different to access your
properties. In an Action:
DynaActionForm f = (DynaActionForm)form;
String userName = (String)f.get(userName);
similarly with settters:
f.set(userName, userName );
I have a helper class that builds a DTO accepting the DynaForm as
a parameter...ie:
userDTO = ObUsersHelper.makeUserDTOfromDAF( dynaForm );
RK (what is the preferred approach to do this using dyna beans)
RK -- Has any one tried to wrap value objects with a dyna bean to make the
RK retreival easy ofcourse or otherwise.
Haven't use dyna beans so I can't help you there.
RK Any feed back is highly appreciated
