Model - controller always one-on-one?

Hi All,

Is it necessary to always have a controller per model?

Rephrased:

Would you end up jumping through hoops in the future if you have a
controller
called Customer in which you add methods to create new companies as well
as
new contacts?

Thanx

Regards,

Gerard.

It is not necessary.

I for one tend to think controller as defining functional domains,
while models define data units

Functionality can depend on multiple models (since it can use data of
multiple kind).

Exemple :
a customer can be thought of as a data unit
a company can be thought of as a data unit

Creating an invoice is a functionality which requires data from both
the customer data unit and the company data unit.

Now that is a good occasion to see just how wrong I could be, let’s
see if others agee with me :slight_smile:
