Ummm, no. The Model can insulate (nay, even represent!) error conditions as well as (or even better than) the controller. :)
Allowing the View to "write" to the Model is a (very) bad idea, but letting the View "read" from the Model is a good idea. regards, -Ade -----Original Message----- From: Dan Cancro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 12:38 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Struts + MVC Philosophical question My favorite reason for insulating the view from the model is because otherwise, you could encounter errors in the middle of serving a page and the users would see a half-finished page. With insulation (via controller), you can make sure that all data retrieval by a page is foolproof. When you don't have web pages that start going to the browser before they are totally done being generated, you don't have to worry about this problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
