Ultimately the data should be in the model, and the view binds to the model. However depending on your needs you could notify the view from the command using responders. Check the UM Cairngorm extensions for this.

I have a some doubts about implementing Cairngorm correctly (and I guess MVC in general). I’m trying to decide where to place some of my data storing/transferrin g classes, and I was wondering if anyone has any rules of thumb for this kind of thing. These are the guidelines that I have been following until now: 1) the class only transfers data to/from a server: postfix “VO” and put it in the vo folder 2) the class only stores data for the local application: put it in the model folder 3) the class does both of the above: put it in the model folder (don’t postfix “VO”) I’m working with someone who does (1) even when the class is never sent across the wire. What’s the “right” way to do this? And also: I’ve read somewhere that VO’s should not contain any logic, and that you should be able to initialise all of its properties via the constructor. What do you think? TIA! -Jorge
