However, the function and this post clearly indicate that this only is to be used for form fields and not url/session. Any suggestions on making this universal? I know the makeEventBean() method but it's a pain to maintain.Boyan Kostadinovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01361725622852028759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7367794905551891931.post-37482265989390569202008-02-18T12:50:00.000-05:002008-02-18T12:50:00.000-05:00This seems like a problematic approach as you are effectively breaking encapsulation by tying your code to the Form scope (because FieldNames is only created for forms).<BR/><BR/>It seems like this would cause problems for unit testing (among other things) where code wouldn't work the same when it is called by a form.Steve Bryanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13743861364515748271noreply@blogger.com
