Pete, You may want to read Boris Lublinski's article, "The Key to Superior EJB Design" in January's "Java Developer's Journal," pp. 20ff. While not directly addressing Struts or servlets, he has some very enlightening incites into data object design.
Mark -----Original Message----- From: Pete Serafin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 11:34 AM I am in the design phase of an application that will need to handle 100's and more likely 1000's of users simultaneously. The application will consist of the typical create, edit, and retrieve functions for information stored in a database. My question concerns how to design my Action classes. While I usually place the hi level logic for inserts, updates, and individual object retrieval in the same Action class, I was thinking about breaking them out into 3 separate Action classes. The logic being that an Action class is created on the stack for each user that accesses that class, and the slimmer the class, the faster the application and less memory used. Would it make sense to architect the application this way, or is it more just a matter of style? Does anyone have any ideas on this issue, or advice based on large scale applications that you have developed?
