Maverick is a presentation-oriented framework. If all you want to do is perform these steps and send an acknowledgement to the user, you probably should compose your application with standard Java objects. I'm all for using Maverick in imaginative ways, but it's an MVC framework not a programming methodology :-) I could just be misunderstanding what you're saying, though. > At the moment I have written the above mentioned functionality and I would > like to build the right Controller classes.

You can pass pretty much anything you like. What type of view are you using? I'm really not quite sure what you're asking. > Just like Aapo I'm a bit lazy and I do not want to spend to much time to > figure this out (I noticed that the section about developing your own > Controller class still needs to be written in the Maverick manual. > Probably > it's not as trivial as one might think). Writing controllers is easy, it's just writing documentation that's hard :-) There are several examples of custom Controller base classes in the org.infohazard.maverick.ctl package.
