To subclass a base actionForm is the design used in our project. e.g. The baseSearchForm contains fields common to all the objects and the subSearchForm specifies the fields that are unique for the object. And also, the action is object specific, so you can assign the sub form to each action.
I am open for comments on this implementation too. Regards, E. -----Original Message----- From: David Holtzhouser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 21, 2003 11:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OO Design with ActionForms, Again - Can someone please comment I posted this question early in the month, but didn't get a single response. Can someone please comment on this question?? I have a design question realted to developing ActionForm classes. I have a page where a user makes a selection that controls the Tile that will appear within the body of the next screen. The two (and likely additional ones later) screens share a common property between them (a checkbox). I would like to refactor that common property into a base class, and then create subclasses off of that type. My perceived problem is that I am limited by the fact that you can only declare a single relationship between the action and the form-bean. What are the best practices for using inheritance on ActionForm's and does anyone have a suggestion on how this could be implemented?
