Transfer Data Objects between Actions and Views

[M. Onur Tokan]

Hi,

I come across the following code. It uses
"request.setAttribute("employee",employeeDTO);" for transfering
employeeDTO. Is it the only practice for doing this?

        EmployeeService service = new EmployeeService();
        EmployeeForm employeeForm = (EmployeeForm) form;
        EmployeeDTO employeeDTO = new EmployeeDTO();
        BeanUtils.copyProperties( employeeDTO, employeeForm );
        service.insertEmployee( employeeDTO );
        request.setAttribute("employee",employeeDTO);
        return (mapping.findForward("success"));
    }
}
