Can we use value-object with session beans????

[Pras Tiwari]

Hi,

I am developing EJB CMP2.0 Application. I have Created Sesion Facade for my Entity beans which persists data inti database. At my client side i m accessing Session bean & inside session beans I m passing field values for my Entity beans. But this requires accessing all getters n setters inside Session Bean for passing values to Entity Bean. But I don't want to use each getter n setter of all fields bcoz this results in n/w overhead. So my question is can we use a ValueObject class for Sesion Beans for Data Transfer from Client to Server??

If yes/no why???

Please help me.
Thanx in advance.

Hi,

I am currently Accesisng Entity bean with local interface inside session bean. & then I am accessing that sesion bean with remote interface into my client file. But now I am not using any value Objects for passing data from client to session bean. I am just passing values by accessing each filed inside my sesion bean on Client side & then assigning value to it through sesion beans remote interface. But As I m accessing sesion bean with remote interface I think this way will create n/w overhead. So Can i use hare Value Object for passing values betn Client n Sesion Bean???

Thanx

Not only can you, but you should. Updating a record one field at a time with a round-trip from the client to the database and back again via an EJB is not a sensible way to do this.
