RE: [FormProc-developer] bean 2 bean mapping

[Anthony E. <me...@an...>]

I think that the best approach is to create a new class which extends from the Form class and converts Struts form beans
to FormData objects and then submits that data to the parent Form class.  The FormData class is merely a class which
encapsulates a name/value pair.

An example of this is the HttpForm ( http://formproc.sourceforge.net/docs/api/org/formproc/servlet/HttpForm.html ) class
which converts the parameters of an HttpServletRequest to FormData objects and then passes those FormData objects to the
superclass for processing.

Sincerely,
Anthony Eden
