Hi Jeff,
Let me try to explain. In my controller (which is _not_
ControllerSingleton), I have a perform() method which opens a database
connection. This controller might be used by a number of templates and
have methods which might be used by some and not others, methods like
getPerformers(), getServices(), etc. Each of these methods uses the open
database connection. I'm using JDO and like other systems, it wants me to
close my database connection.
So, as I understand it, the flow is something like this:
1. Mav calls perform()...and within it, I open the database
connection
2. Mav processes my velocity templates, which call methods in my
controller, using $model.performers
3. Mav deletes the controller object
What I would like is notification between steps 2 and 3 of the pending
deletion so I can close the database connection. Does this make more sense?
Thanks,
Dan
