Hi Lach, there many ways to use Cairngorm. I agree with you completly, it's of vital importance to refactor the right functionality from both, views and commands into model objects that mean something to your use case. Then, this functionality can also be easier unit tested. Just lets keep in mind that there's also view functionality like effects code etc, which wouldn't make too much sense in a model, instead they can often be refactored into utility classes ( which you might want to call view helpers ;) ) However how your model is going to look like depends on your specific needs. Cairngorm doesn't tell you how to design your custom model or your custom view. It's the infractucture around that. My blog entries around that, which Douglas pointed out, have the indent to show one possible route to go towards this direction. Nevertheless, it's difficult to show that in examples, since there's a tradeoff in completeness and complexity vs. easy to understand examples ....and most importantly...time. ;) Best, Alex

My question isn't about the model locator. It's about logic, or lack
thereof encapsulated within the domain objects.

need to be reusable? If so, make it central.

p.s. right on Tom.
