A basic architecture question: We're putting together a typical web app where non-logged in users reach a public-facing basic 'brochure' site, and then log in to reach the 'real' application. With such a setup, it makes no sense to be loading models for the public portion of the site, as it's just some semi-static pages and a login form. So I'm wondering
- a) Is there a way to prevent models loading at the request or controller level? - b) Should the 'public' site be part of the same application at all, or should it be a separate light-weight application with a login form that then points to the 'real' application? --
