Hi,
Right now, the whole idea is to simply learn Object Orientation. I'm going from 
Cobol, which is procedural, to Java. Consequently, I'm filtering out anything 
that looks like a detour, but saving it for later, so thanks for the new 
information.

a real benefit of mvc, is that that you can write your calculator
as an eclipse application and at what moment you want, if you well designed 
using mvc this app, you will be able to write a swing interface, a web one, 
or any other variant you want and that is all for a new application.
Infact that is the point, you write once the business and then you can write 
as many clients of that business you want, you can "present" it in what form 
you want.
But such design must have a serious reason.
For example if you write a simple application which intent will be never to 
be used in different forms
you can gain more time by using other patterns like rad, data driven, table 
pattern, or smart ui.

Hi,
This started because I wanted to create a very small project in Java to put 
together what I'm learning about classes and such as I go along. I was 
thinking that if I created a calculator program that a small project like 
that wouldn't get in the way of learning too much. The model would be all of 
the methods that do the math. The controller would be that part that figures 
out which math methods to call. The view would be what the person who runs 
the application sees. At first, it would be a command line interface. Later, 
if I've done it correctly, it would maybe be a user interface built with 
SWT. As I catch onto arrays, I could build a method that, let's say, adds as 
many numbers as are in the array. I'm reaching for examples here.

Jim

Thanks.

This is the version of MVC most commonly associated with the web. MVC is not 
always under such restrictions. For example, sometimes,
it's necessary to move where you maintain state, simply because of 
definitions you've laid out that state the view can't speak to
the model directly, even though other definitions imply a lack of state 
being maintained anywhere but in the model.

Frankly, I'm not a huge fan of MVC. I find it impractical, very limiting, 
and very rigid. I sort of liken it to the waterfall
development methodology of software engineering. I tend to be more of an 
agile/star model guy, which means that I also really like
things like software busses.

Again though, different strokes for different folks.

Take care,
Sina

a little bit different...
1. the model is formed from classes that assembles your domain and your 
business logic.
Let say that there you will find classes like person, account, or something 
similar.
But the model does not power lifting, it simply offer services.
2. The controller takes al user information/events from the view and uses 
the services ofered by the model to make necesary changes.
3. View pass to the controller al  user information/events and then query 
the model about its state changes to reflect them on the
view.
Simply:
the user does something, the view announce the controller that the user has 
done something.
The controler, makes necesary calls to the model to cary out the needed 
actions.
The view sees if there are model changes and display them.

Hi,

Is this how Model View Controller works?



1. You have something on the back end, the model,  that does all the heavy 
lifting.

2. On top of that, you have the controller, which sits between the user and 
the model that calls the methods of the model.

3. The view simply passes information from the user to the controller which 
the controller interprets for the model.



Thanks.



Jim
