Hi Karl, Validation is done usually in the View.
As regards to your inquiry having a no Model in some situation, yes. There are some projects (mine included) that does not have a Model. Take for instance my program that mimics a MySql Query Browser. It cannot determine what table fields in advance to have access to, so most of the work is done through the Controller. A model by the way, is simply represented as a class in which you outline all the fields that have been defined in a database table. Here are suggested links for you: http://leepoint.net/notes-java/GUI/structure/40mvc.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93View%E2%80%93Controller http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/javase/mvc-136693.html Btw, even though I am a C# user, I still practice what was taught to us in Java when it comes to MVC. Hope the links will help you. Good luck. Regards, Benj On Jan 14, 6:50 pm, Karl Oakes <[email protected]> wrote: > Maybe I am looking at this the wrong way...
