Hi Doug,
Just one general comment is that it really isn't the job (IMO) of the
controller to provide the model with the ORM beans. The model should work
self standing. The controller is just responsible for handling form, URL and
(probably) session scopes and for providing well parameterized calls to the
model and then to take the returned data from the model and to pass that to
the view.
Best Wishes,
Peter
