Forum Hy!

I have a designe question?
We have been working on one project for 4 months with hibernate as ORM and Webwork as MVC. We first started using POJO in our view layer but now
after 4 months our POJO objects have became big and very confusing.
For example we started puting some functions in POJO like for user isAdmin()
isGuest(). Those functions are used only in view (to show or no to show same
link or button ...) but now our POJO objects have become very non readable
So my question is how to do some refactoring to maybe put those non POJO
functions and fields in some ViewPOJO Object.

Thanks!

this isn't really a hibernate question. a pojo with methods like isAdmin and isGuest should be called something like UserContext and reside in session scope. there is nothing wrong with these simple boolean methods, so long as their values are not computed by the pojo when the view is returned. you should get your model layer to perform the userCxt.setIsAdmin(bool). you've not really give much other information so it's not easy to answer but you should not reply because this is non-hibernate.
