Yeah I had this pending because I think it's very frustrating for many people that, even by buying commercial Catalyst books, they tell them __what__ to do with models but now exactly __how__. There is a potential bug in the example code as Peter Flanigan pointed out, but it works every sigle time I've tested it. It seems to coincide with this thread from jerome.eteve at gmail May 29, 2010, 5:08 AM, that nobody answered. I am getting the same "Surprisingly, this works...." result as he explained: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/catalyst/users/26974?search_string=order;#26974 In this other thread: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/catalyst/users/27169?search_string=order;#27169 There is a recomendation by Thomas Doran to delay the instantiation of the model using Moose after with something like this: after setup_components => sub { my $app = shift; for (keys %{ $app->components }) { $app->components->{$_}->initialize_after_setup($app) if $app- >components->{$_}->can('initialize_after_setup'); } }; I am still trying to understand the different instatiation-order options and to modify my sample code accordingly. In any case, the point of these examples are to give some guide on the different options that people have when designing and constructing their M layer for catalyst applications. I will post the revised article and update the sample code when I get a chance.... -- Alejandro _______________________________________________ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
