All - I was hoping to tap the brain trust out there for any ideas on how to address the following problem: In the system I am currently working on there is a large amount of code generated based on a database schema. For example: for any given table in the schema an entity bean is generated with some basic functionality as well as a javabean (maps to the columns in the table) that is used to pass data between the back-end to the front-end. >From a Struts perspective the majority of our forms maintain a 'has-a' relationship with on or more of these javabeans. Therefore the properties in the JSP's map directly into the generated javabeans. This has been working beautifully thus far. However, we made some pretty significant schema changes for the next release of our product, and am now facing the problem of re-working the system to function against the new schema. The main problem is, as the entire code base is being re-worked we cannot deploy and run the system. Therefore, it is not a trivial task to search through the JSP code to determine what properties will break the next time a page is run. Just as a baseline for the size of the system we have roughly 500 jsps that use Struts tags and 50 + form objects that may have changed structure based on the newly introduced schema. My initial thoughts on this were to somehow scan through the JSP's and attempt to resolve the proper form associated with it and then attempt to call the appropriate getters and setters using the Struts facilities. I would preferably like to piggyback on the work already being done by the JSP compilation services (Jasper, etc) but am having a little difficulty determining if I can insert some process along the way or mimic the function using the services components. The eventual out put of such a process could be something as simple as a report of what properties will be problematic and in what pages they live. Then work could be done to pro-actively fix these places while the rest of the system is being re-worked. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Laine
