Josh,
I think your approach is fairly standard and is also what I
recommended :-).
The only thing I wasn't sure of was using the same action for saving and
creating. I feel that is easiest, but I can see how some people might
disagree.
I tend to prefer the one-Action solution for this, primarily because the
only functional difference tends to be using an INSERT or an UPDATE. If
you use the typical DAO pattern, that's usually just a simpmle if-else
statement in your Action to call the insert() or update() method of your
DAO.
Also, two general questions to the forum. First, I've noticed a lot of people
top post. Is that the standard in a mailing list? I am more used to news
groups. If I am annoying anyone by having the quotes above, please let me
know.
I don't think we'll have a lot of influence on human nature or laziness
:-) ... but I prefer intermixing responses (as I'm doing here). Even more
importantly, you should trim down the message you are quoting to just the
part you are addressing, if it's not the whole message.
Second, It gets to be difficult to see if a question has already been answered
before I post. Do we typically defer to certain members to answer, or should
I just use common sense? (That is, if a message was posted within the past
couple of hours, feel free to answer; check for someone else having answered,
otherwise.)
Multiple answers are a Good Thing (tm) :-), because there are often
different perspectives and experiences that can be very useful. You
probably should not assume that any particular person will always answer
questions in a particular topic area -- they might be busy or offline, or
just not in a mood to answer questions on that particular day :-).
In terms of mechanics, I always read mailing lists with the message sort
set to threaded -- then, it's trivially simple to see if there have been
responses yet (and even look at them to confirm), in an attempt to avoid
completely redundant responses. Of course, there are still the inevitable
race conditions (multiple people composing and sending answers at the same
time).
