So I've encountered this problem a few times and each time I seem to stumble on figuring out how to best solve it. Sorry if this has been discussed here, I looked through pages and pages and did some searches but came up with nothing.
The site I am designing has several objects (dogs, calendar events, ads, etc.). These all need to be created in the database, updated, etc. Perfect opportunity to use Transfer to make these database functions simple. I am able to set this up just fine and have incorporated validation into the works so that the data the user submits can be validated server side and returned to the form for corrections if necessary. My problem comes in when I start to work with things like a contact form. I really want all the functionality of a Transfer object, except I'll never have to interact with the database. I will just validate, return the user to the form to correct errors (invalid email address, missing info, etc.) if necessary and then once the submission is valid I'll send an email to the proper administrator. Has anyone used Transfer in this way? How so? Is it just as simple as mocking up and using the object but never saving the data? Have you come up with a better way to make this work? Maybe it's just late and this is as simple as it sounds.
