I am wondering what makes you think that the CG models need to be dumb? Why can't your CG model be a domain model? Then a ModelLocator simply holds a reference to an object which forms part of a complex object graph. The Objects are not just simple VOs(DTOs) but have state, behaviour, event listeners and handlers. cheers, - shaun
