Hi there. This is my first post. I'm just learning Cake, coming from a strong Java background. I like what I've see so far, but am a little confused with the Model part of the MVC implementation. Perhaps I'm missing something.
My understanding of MVC, is that the Model represents the data. In Cake, the Model appears to be nothing more than an a DAO (Data Access Object). Is this correct? If I have a Model Class representing a blog post mapped to a database table, I would expect that the Class have attributes for each database field. What I get instead is a set of database helper methods returning results as a multi-dimensional array. There is no Object- Relational Mapping. As I say, perhaps I'm missin something. Google suggests there is an ActiveRecord implementation in Cake somewhere. Not too familiar with this pattern, bt perhaps this is what I'm after? Can someone please point me in the right direction? cheers --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
