Hello, I believe, it is considered a best practice to use DTOs (transport/beans) to hold the default values of objects (although I've heard that within Actions is the more appropriate place). How do you guys do this when one of your DTOs has an array of child DTOs. For example:
public class Policy extends DTO { private Integer id; private Integer clientId; private String name = "Default Policy Name"; private String desc = "Third Policy"; private FileExtension[] fileExtensions; ... Assume DAO pattern, and that normally the default values are overridden by data coming from the DB. But if not, how best do I set default values for the 10 or so fileExtension objects in the example above? Policy constructor? In the FileExtension constructor? In the action?
