Hi there,

I am not sure what or any specific pattern you could use. May be you could introduce Struts like action in your servlet.

for example : Servlet

.... doPost(request, response) ....
{
    Action action = request.getAction().execute();
    action.next();
}

By doing this u might not touch u r servlet anymore. all u r actions are abstracted in u r specific action classes.

I am not sure this would help. but just a thought


/* example action - something like this. u could modify or make it more valuable */

Class UserValidateAction implements Action
{
ActionDO actionDO = null;
public UserValidateAction(ActionDO ADO)
{
this.actionDO = ADO
}

public void execute()
{
  //do something using the values from DO
}

public next()
{
  //where to go after this action.
}


}
}


Note :- Action is already in java so use some other name ....
