Just a suggestion, pass the UserDto to the service layer and let the service layer do the conversion. Then you can look at <a href=" http://code.google.com/p/simple-object-assembler/">Simple Object Assembler</a> to encapsulate the conversion. Hint: use automapWhenNoConverterFound property and you won't need to write any converters for Simple Object Assembler (assuming your properties follow a naming convention).

Currently I'm doing the following: public class UserRegistrationPage extends WebPage { @SpringBean private UserService userService; private FeedbackPanel feedbackPanel; private UserDto userDto; // only has the User properties @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") public UserRegistrationPage() { feedbackPanel = new FeedbackPanel("feedback"); userDto = new UserDto(); CompoundPropertyModel userDtoModel = new CompoundPropertyModel(userDto); // bind to the DTO Form registrarForm = new Form("registerForm", userDtoModel){ @Override protected void onSubmit() { try { // Create a real User and obtain the data from the DTO User user = new User(userDto.getEmail(), userDto.getName(), userDto.getPassword(), userDto.getBirth()); userService.save(user); // service calls the dao which actually saves to DB } catch (Exception e) { // The Businness Exception has the message error feedbackPanel.warn(e.getMessage()); } } }; registerForm.add(new TextField("email").setRequired(true)); // form binded to the DTO properties ... -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/Using-Wicket-with-businness-model-classes-that-check-for-rules-tp3245298p3245378.html Sent from the Users forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org Notice: This communication, including any attachments, is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
