In our project, we have designed our model facade objects to take in a map and let the facade copy the map to the appropriate business objects using BeanUtils. We have customized the form-bean config to map the form-bean properties to the model properties. This way the model objects will be independent of the view/controller. -Harish --- David Graham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That is a terrible idea.
