You could use lazy DynaBean - I added LazyValidatorForm to Struts a few days ago - available in the nightly build:
http://svn.apache.org/builds/struts/nightly/ Info: * http://struts.apache.org/api/org/apache/struts/validator/LazyValidatorForm.html * http://www.niallp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/#lazydynabean Alternatively, Hubert Rabago has created the FormDef extension to Struts which generates the VO for you - exactly what your asking for https://formdef.dev.java.net/ Niall ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patrick Beagan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 09, 2004 4:48 PM Subject: VO usage I have an application that uses struts - ejbs - hibernate. My value objects used for hibernate have the exact members as my html forms. Does anyone have Any suggestions to re-use these value objects? IE: It seems that I must define an ActionForm for my struts layer, and have a plain value object in my app server layer. I'd rather not duplicate. Thanks.
