With modern frameworks and Java level classiness (here, have a mappingfactory class that instantiates the mapping class that maps the data from the form into the object returned from the factory class that produced the object being created) what happens is more like
The POST creates a hospital, staffs it with receptionists, doctors, nurses, and so on. A pregnant woman (the request) goes in, the receptionist routes her to the OB ward where nurses help her into the stirrups and the doctor catches the baby. The doctor takes all the baby's stats, writes it on the birth certificate, drops the certificate into a pneumatic chute that whisks it away to safety (in the database) as the hospital and all its occupants are immediately vaporized by an explosion (if you're still using CGI, replace this with the entire sun going supernova. Add recreating the solar system to the beginning of the next request).
The GET creates a hospital, staffs it with receptionists, doctors, cloning technicians, and so on. A woman (the request) goes in, the receptionist routes her to the cloning ward where the woman hands over the birth certificate that had been mailed to her, the doctor looks over the certificate and checks to make sure she's really supposed to have it (or not, given the state of security these days) then pulls out a cloning tank and reconstitutes a baby that is identical in every way (ideally) to the original and hands it to the woman. As the woman leaves the hospital baby in tow, it explodes behind her, action movie style.
Or, y'know, you could just pass the new baby straight to a View and do all this with half the hospitals, doctors, receptionists and none of the cloning vats.
then I've got a 486 upgrade I'll donate for free.
Thanks! Once it can do the same task with half the number of requests, it'll work twice as well!
