> Is that an over simplification? Am I missing anything fundamental? It's a simplification.. yes. The model is a "single database entry" entry, so to speak. What I was hinting at with my example was an address book.. The model is a cfc containing methods for manipulating a single "person" in the address book. I pass in information from the form to the .cfc, and then I create a model that represents the person being passed in, and I either update that person in the database or create a new person based on the id (id = 0 means add a new entry) with the form values that were passed in. When the data is done being updated, I just cflocate to the "next" page, or back to the "form" page or whatever.
It's a rather simple concept, but quite powerful... I highly recommend you read Ben's explanation, as you'll get more out of that than out of my paragraph above. http://www.benorama.com/coldfusion/patterns/part2.htm -d ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=i:4:138197 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
