No, you do not have to. But sometimes you have to remap (in the map) the keys from form to db.
That would be extreme, my point was only that VO could and in my case should be collections.
I mostly work w/ jTable and DataSource now, which work via "reflection" (for each)

data out--you just hand it off to iBATIS to store in the database?
