Hi, I'm developing a series of internal applications that focus on bookkeeping and accounting.
Using webobjects how would one one design a simple app for batch entries similar to what one would do in Excel? These entries could be anywhere from 5 per batch up to 200 per batch.
Data entry could be as simple as:
Account, Amount
A-1, $10.20
A-23, $23.54
X-40 $17.25
etc.
Let's say we have an EO called Payment that consists of a PK, Account Name and a Dollar Amount, then another EO that contains multiples of the previous. From my testing, if you created 200-500 empty Payment EOs, the app takes a substantial amount of time to set each object up in memory. I've also played with creating a number of WOTextFields tied to an array of 200-500 strings (instead of directly to an EO). The problem I'm encountering is that this seems terribly inefficient, slow and very non-webobjects.
Ultimately my goals are: fast entry, validation on the entry, account information lookup etc.
Any input would be appreciated.
