Using a value object would be a standard way of handling this. If the ActionForm were coded to have a property that references a value object, then you've allowed Struts to populsate its fields and have still separated the code that applies the new values. (In other words, your server application will still have a method named something like "setInfo(MyValueObject vo)" called by our Action classes.) This would all be pretty easy, except that as far as I can tell, there is no way to initialize an ActionForm other than hard-code the creation of the view's ActionForm in the Action. -- Posted via jApache.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
