The Austin JUG meeting tonight featured the J2SE 5.0 presentation from Sum.
I am currently using the new annotations feature on a test project using EJB 3.0 and JBoss. It is very cool; just annotate your entity beans and the server does all the database mappings. As I was listening to tonight's presentation, I thought it would be a good idea to annotate the same entity beans with "formParameter" annotations; i.e., do away with form beans and the mapping of form beans to business model objects. I know this is exactly what is planned for JSF (making the backing beans and entity beans one in the same); however, I do not want to move to JSF at this time (maybe the change will be worth while when JSF truly has some rich client components; until then, why make such a radical change from something that is working well). In any case, has anyone given serious thought to doing away with form beans in Struts and moving to annotations? Mike __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
