The $input object could be an child class of the request input object, so that you still *could* pass it to the controller, but you really shouldn't. This makes this more flexible for the cases where you want it to, but you'd lose the nice encapsulation. By creating an input object then you make it clean, but more restrictive. regards, Derick -- Components mailing list Components@lists.ez.no http://lists.ez.no/mailman/listinfo/components
