Question

I am writting an application that autogenerated the data input UI from a java bean.

Now i have a bean that has other beans as a property. eg User has property username, and usertype of type UserType;

Whats the best strategy in java. Do i loop through the fields in an if else loop?
eg. get field list
if field is of type text
use text field
else if field is a number
user a number field etc.

is there a shortcut to the ifs?
