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?
