Raible's Wiki: ValueObjectInForm

At line 1 changed 1 line.

Recently I was discussing with Matt about where to put those special ""view"" get/set methods that are needed when a model value object has to be adapted to a form. At the same time were were discussing DynaActionForms vs. XDoclet generated ActionForms and I realized it was all related, so I will try to sum it up as best I can here.

I guess this page should really be DTOInForm since Data Transfer Object is the proper designation for a data bean. Anyways, this is really a hot topic right now in Raible world and I would very much like to determine how best to use this design in applications. In short, what relationship do DTO objects and ActionForms (or DynaActionForms) have and where are the supporting methods for these objects added. That is the question on the table.
