Hi I am struggling with the best approach to take with my first Struts application and wondered if I could get some voices of experience.
I have a 1->m relationship (Supplier -> Products) that I wish to represent in a maintenance application. You can Add or Edit a Supplier, and then within this Add or Edit you can Add or Edit Products. My persistence layer provides a Supplier Data Transfer Object(DTO) representing the Supplier->Products (The Supplier holds a Collection of Product DTO's). At the moment I have ActionForm for Supplier held in session scope containing a collection of Product ActionForms. Depending on Add or Edit these are populated from the Supplier DTO. When a Save is finally executed I create a Supplier DTO and populate it from the Supplier ActionForm and collection of Product ActionForms. The DTO is passed to the persistence layer. I still have logic in the Action classes that I do not like, for example the Save determines whether to call insert() or update() on my persistence layer. I think I need a Workflow type class where a method Save() will determine whether to call insert() or update(). So, any comments of my current approach? Suggestions for improvements?
