I don't picture the "model" as something that WebWork provides. The model is actually your domain model implementation. It's the _real_ implementation of your application, not dependent on any web framework (or any other presentation framework for that matter). Sometimes the model is built with EJB's, sometimes with POJO's, etc. > > Webwork View Components. > > One of WebWork's strengths is that view components are > entirely up to the user.

IMO, the Action classes are extensions of the controller. They generally should not contain real business logic, but rather they translate requests from the user to calls in the model (or business layer, if it's separate). They mediate between the view and the model. Joe ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The Definitive IT and Networking Event. Be There!
