Maybe you should be doing Vic's labs, Rick ;-> I loved the walkthroughs BTW - it is particularly useful to have worked examples of various concepts - this can save literally hours by having a working example - particularly with new bits one may not have used previously, i.e. all of it is incredibly useful for beginners. It *can* take a while trying to understand the various options with struts - at least getting something working is a great starting point. Kudos to you for the "Struttin' With Struts" idea *and* implementation. Looking forward to the next bits :->
I must admit to being a (recently introduced but) great fan of Vic's "basebeans" approach - it has greatly simplified getting CRUD working with struts for me and introduced me to some very neat OO techniques. The code is minimal - and as with all great ideas - its elegance is in its simplicity. I'll refrain from trying to answer your question as I may be speaking out-of-turn - might be better for Vic to answer this direct.

In other words, what gets passed to the DAO from the BaseBean implementation to do the CRUD? For example in a case where you had: EmployeeFormBean extends BaseBean I would take it EmployeeForBean would need to hold user fields such as firstName, lastName, address, etc with appropriate getter and setters. How do these fields then get passed to your DAO for the CRUD operations?
