Re: Inheritance of DynaActionForms
Regarding the inheritance of DynaActionForms I've once read an very good and interesting article of someone who found an workaround. I don't have the url though, so maybe you'll get lucky with google ;-) Hi, I am looking for a Best practice of using the ActionForms. We are using lot of Forms(both ActionForm and DynaActionForms) in our application. All these Forms share some common properties and some validation logic is also common. Currently we are using the Inheritance in the ActionForms, to solve this requirement(Like we have a Super ActionForm and all the other ActionForms extend that Super ActionForm). I would like to know, is there any possibility with the DynaActionForms. I mean, we configure the properties of DynaActionForm in the struts-config.xml, is there a possibility that we can say that one DynaActionForm extends other DynaActionForm ? (with out replicating the properties in all DynaActionForms) As the struts-config.xml is an XML file, i guess we can imitate this by using the XML INCLUDES( we include the super DynaActionForm properties in the child DynaActionForms). Is there any configuration possible in struts-config.xml ? I wonder what are the advantages of DynaActionForms(whose properties are configured in struts-config.xml) over ActionForms(which are Java Classes created as JavaBeans) except the creation of extra java classes ?

Is there any configuration possible in struts-config.xml ? There is, as I said just yesterday, in response to the exact same question, asked by Amit Gupta, currently no mechanism to facilitate this. Yes, you could hack your XML with includes - there's not an auto-magic way to do it though. I wonder what are the advantages of DynaActionForms(whose properties are configured in struts-config.xml) over ActionForms(which are Java Classes created as JavaBeans) except the creation of extra java classes ? Primarily, the advantage I see is that you don't have to code multiple sets of classes (1 for data transfer - 1 to use in your code that has all the real types).
