Hi Cedric, I'm trying to fit this in the context of struts' MVClike framework... Say I wanted to re-write the Invoice example such that I not only associated the billing/shipping address information with a tile but also wanted to separate out the logic so that my 'addressController' would have the responsibility of populating the appropriate address in InvoiceForm rather than pushing that responsibility into the editInvoice Action. Is that feasible?
Then Struts updates the InvoiceForm Action Form from editInvoice.jsp... but editInvoice would effectively ignore populating addresses choosing rather to allow the address controller to do that work... I'm not totally sure if this would result in a clean implementation but am working on the assumption that it would be useful to be able to drop tiles in where desired or even swap out tiles with ones that display the data differently.. and do the same with their respective controllers. So as a rather poor example: if my invoice has several addresses and the concept of a current address I could drop in the single editor for a app that prefers to show only the current address, or drop in a table-based editor for an app that wants the ability to edit a set of addresses-- the specific controllers would know how to get the data into and out of the appropriate parts of the invoice form and underlying database. Does this make sense??
