http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21541 Limitation in struts model component ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-07-21 11:16 ------- I'd agree that there is a definite need for a business-layer controller that follows the same general architecture as Struts. I'd disagree that it is Struts job to provide that framework. Right now, there are several object-relational modeling frameworks, like Hibernate and OJB, that help you take a rich object model and "flatten" it into a JDBC representation. There should also be a corresponding way to flatten a rich object graph into a simple data transfer object, like the ones Struts encourages for ActionForms. But, IMHO, such an adaptor is out of the scope of Struts, and is part of the business layer rather than the presentation layer. I would venture that the XML configurations that should be extended to support moving data from a flat DTO to a rich object graph (or directly to a database query) for this would be the Hibernate and OJB XML's rather than Struts. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
