I'm just starting my journey into JSF and like what I see with the Seam
additions so far. In our application we have a fairly rich data model. In the
GUI, the user is allowed to assign/modify relationships fairly easily. For
example, we have an order object:
pulic class Order{
private Person billToPerson;
...snip other properties...
public Person getBillToPerson(){ return billToPerson;}
public void setBillToPerson(Person person){ this.billToPerson = person;}
}
A typical use case is for an order entry user to be taking an order and ask the
user for their account number (which is there person id).
When the user is creating/editing an OrderEdit.jsp, they can assign a value to
a field on the jsp called billToPerson.id. Our current Struts code gets the
value from the ActionForm, loads the object from the database (error handling
if the id is not valid) and then assigns the loaded Person to the
Order.billToPerson property.
There is obviously a lot of glue code here (we have written extension for
Struts that help). As we move to JSF (possible using Seam), we are looking to
reduce the glue code as much as we can.
I was wondering if/how Seam might help with assigning/changing relationships on
objects (particularly when the user can enter an abitrary ID). Or what others
do in this type of situation.
Thanks in advance for any comments,
Chris....
