I think Bob's got a bad case of ColdBoxitis... ;) "put everything in the 'Box, and I mean EVERYTHING!!"
You gotta know I'm teasing, yeah? Seriously... Anyway, as for a respository, AFAIK the only repository of actionpacks is in the Model-Glue SVN repo at http://svn.model-glue.com/trunk/modelglueactionpacks if that's what you're looking for. Other than that there aren't really any other sites that have an actionpack library. My suggestion? Start putting MG actionpacks on RIAForge. And, redundantly and for the record, my opinion is that Model-Glue is a configuration-based framework and there are plenty of convention- based frameworks out there. I think that deliberately adding exceptional cases to anything is as bad an idea as there is, and that one broadcast isn't an intolerable quantity of work. While I understand the arguments for it, I would dispute the notion that it's actually less work in a big-picture analysis and I would only support a configuration-based solution if one were ever to be provided as an actionpack. MG's vision has never been to supply ancillary services like this except thru the actionpack API and I don't think there's any reason to distract the team with things that don't apply to the framework's vision. In the end, someone who knows MG comes to an MG application expecting to follow the application execution path thru the config file. If I were to end up supporting an app where someone added something like this convention-based approach to file uploads I'd be... umm... well... OK, to be honest? Pissed. Why? Because it totally defeats the shining truth that is Model-Glue: consistent, self-documenting, obviated application operation and architecture. Hiding things in oRS() just makes application support more difficult. All opinions expressed here are solely the property of the expresser and not to be taken in any other way. :) J On Oct 20, 2009, at 3:27 PM 10/20/09, Bob Silverberg wrote: > I suppose the only advantage to baking it into the framework would > be that developers wouldn't need to locate and install an actionpack > as a separate step.
