The last time I wrote an MVC app which included an iPhone client, the architecture looked similar to yours. Although I would _never_ have a view model in the WCF project, since a View Model has everything to do with presentation, and nothing to do with data access. I always have a Mapper in the MVC

Thanks for comments and advice Nathan.. Your idea of DAL between WCF Service and MVC Controllers is a good one, and it does mimic how i have this set up currently (not explained properly previously - sorry).. I have my wcf services accessible only from within my SessionRepository objects. So the c

My 2 Cents... This seems over-engineered. If I were designing this.. I would create new WCF services/ web api controllers for the mobile clients and remove the WCF middle tier. Stacy Andrews (first time poster, long time reader ;)) - Original Message - From: "ozDotNet" To:"ozDotNet" Cc:

IMO, the key to scaling out always starts with making your app stateless. Don't use Session. Then you can essentially just keep adding as many load balanced web servers as you need. But unless you have mega traffic, a couple of servers will handle a lot. Scaling out databases is a whole different

This discussion comes at a coincidentally interesting time for me, as over recent years I have become increasingly irritated by classic ASP.NET. The controls are just so heavyweight and the lifecycle of events and postbacks is so tangled that you need a doctorate in topology to follow it. All of th

@Greg, IMHO, unless you are practising Test Driven Design, I do not believe MVC is a necessarily silver bullet over normal ASP.NET. It's still cleaner, but often there are things that are easier to do in normal ASP.Net. If you do practice TDD though, it's an absolute god-send. Yes, while there are
