Thanks for all the useful replies. I learned a lot in the last few days. Some things that I ended up implementing:
1. a generic BlogFolder class for all my resources that return a list of posts. I figured out that the context declaration for a view can be an inherited class, which is great. All the resources that inherit from the BlogFolder class now have the same default view. 2. you can raise a NotFound exception inside a resource. Which means that I can do a quick check for valid components in the resource phase (like a year being 4 digits) but still raise an error when the view calls my resource to get the posts for a year that doesn't have any. BTW I love the separation between the view and the renderer, which means I can completely separate the data returned by various views, from the template work which makes it pretty for human consumption. using the json renderer as a default and the json view firefox plugin makes for a great dev environment. oO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-devel" group.
