Struts FormBean <--> Domain Best Practice?

[josh marotti <marotti@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have been involved in the development of several struts
applications.  The one thing I have noticed is that everyone has a
different way of converting formbeans to domain (or value) objects and
back.  I've seen a conversion manager that lists all the converts as
static methods, a semi-factory pattern, having a formbean having a
'toDomain()' method and the domain having a 'toFormBean()' method,
etc...

The question is, has anyone created a best practice to doing these
conversions?  Is it just a matter of personal preference?  Is it
dependent on the project?

Thanks,
Josh
