how to decide how many beans to use?
I'm running into a problem.
I started out with one FormBean. It's basically a flattened domain object.
I'm using the Dave W. Validation package and in the validation.xml, you
define
that for a particular FormBean you validate certain fields. Different pages
need validation on different fields so using only 1 FormBean won't work.
So do you create a new FormBean for each page that needs different
validations?
thanks.

I use as few ActionForm (and Action) objects as possible.
One thing to keep in mind is that a form bean is not an object, it's
name we give to an object. In the case of the Struts Validator, you
could give the same ActionForm class several different form bean names,
and validate each one differently.
In terms of custom validations, you can also create a base ActionForm
with all the properties you need, and use a subclass to provide
different validate or reset methods.

1 form bean per form.
