I'm going to fly kick this thread quickly. Validation relates to model, quite simply.     Regards,   Bjorn Schultheiss Senior Flash Developer QDC Technologies   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of lostinrecursion Sent: Friday, 8 September 2006 6:28 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm... Where should this go? Sorry but I have to interject on this. Intsrestingly enough I asked a similar question some days ago and did not receive a response from a design pettern perspective, but from a "what works" perspective. I am actually 85% of the tim all about what works, so not there is anything wrong with it. But, I would like to hear some other rhoughts on it since Validation is integral to just about every RIA that accepts data on the planet. In MVC, the Validators seem to be more of a middle ground issue. Since the Model contains the business logic and is fed data to process and the controller merely acts as waystation back and forth from view to model, it would seem to me that there should almost be another letter in MVC since validation doesn't really fit anywhere. However, it would seem to me that a Validation function would be placed in the model itself. Since the view should only query the model to get its current state and accept the user input, it seems it should not be in the View to promote modularity. {myModel.dataIsValid == true} Because what if you wanted to add another View to the application?? (As the OP mentioned) Seems to me like it would be malformed in the View. Hmmmm... Perhaps MVCV - ;) __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company YAHOO!
