I'm teaching myself MVC concepts in hopes of applying them to a non-OO/procedural development environment. I am pretty sure I understand simple View -> Request -> Controller -> Request -> Model -> Response -> Controller -> Response -> View flow. What I am struggling with is understanding more complex scenarios. For instance, let's say I...
In my rails app the model is fetching some XML and returning an array. I want each array item (they are all text typed) to ultimately be a cell in an HTML table. Does the logic of turning the array elements into the HTML table belong in the controller or the view? Of course either will work, I'd like your thoughts on best practice. ...

I have a very small bit of data that I would like to archive from my apps view. My question is, its far easier to save this data from the viewController, but should I really be pushing it back into my model and saving it there? BTW: I also need to do a quick load of this data when the app starts up. ...
Hi, I have a simple form and within I'm using Html.DisplayFor() method to show some values. There is a submit button also within the form, which is triggering an update. The question is how to "refresh" the Display method(using AJAX). The particular action method must return a ActionResult. I see the only solution in putting the displa...

Let me give you an example to demonstrate my goal: I have a model "Customer", which has info like Company name, website, etc. "Customer" hasM...
Basically what the title says. I created a new MVC application. I'm trying to add new pages to the site, but anytime I do I get the following error: Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name c...
There are certain tables that get called often but updated rarely. One of these tables is Departments. So to save DB trips, I think it is ok to cache this table taking into consideration that the table has very small size. However, once you cached it an issue of keeping the table data fresh occurs. So what is the best way to determine th...
I'm developing a game. Each entity in the game is a GameObject. Each GameObject is composed of a GameObjectController, GameObjectModel, and GameObjectView. (Or inheritants thereof.) For NPCs, the GameObjectController is split into: IThinkNPC: reads current state and makes a decision about what to do IActNPC: updates state based on wha...
As an MVC newb, I keep getting caught up in the details. One in particular is making me pause longer than I'd expect; pagination. Should pagination go in the model, or in the controller? In case it matters, I'm using ZF, and would like to paginate the results of some SQL data. ...

However, I'm building an app at the moment that has a "config" table which holds various data, such as last updated, which will control when certain featu...

Something does...
While migrating a site from a classic asp to MVC, I'm having the problem that not all controllers are implemented yet. For those which are not implemented, I'd like to serve the classic asp page (say /product.asp?id=123) while maintaining the nice url /product/123. To accomplish this I implemented a dummy ProductController which returns ...
I've started my career as a Java developer, then moved to Asp.NET and recently to the Asp.Net MVC, which I like a lot. When developing in Java I used Struts1, which I remember as a hideous framework with loads of XML. Now I suspect that Java MVC frameworks have moved on from the Struts times. So how do modern Java MVC frameworks compare ...
