Struts Form Beans & Value Objects

[Pat Quinn]

I have an EJB which returns me a HeaderVO (Value Object) inside this VO I have an Array List of LineVO's. As you'd except all my Value objects are Serializable. Ok now i want to display this data to my client so I will have a header html table and a lines html table. My header and lines both contain text fields to allow for client updates.

Here's where i'm seeking some assistance: should I * Extract the data from my headerVO and insert it into a FormBean and then store my linesVO data as a 2Dimensional Array in my form bean.

Is there a better way to do this without writing extra code to deal with conversion between VO's and a Form Bean i.e. can i store the value objects instead a form bean but yet allow for user updates to the data.

Your ideas and suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
