Hi all -- I'm curious what the recommended practice is in this situation:
I've got an MG3 app, and each major section of the app has been broken out into its own ModelGlue XML file, as well as corresponding Controller and Service. So, I have someting like the following: /config/MG_User.xml /config/MG_News.xml /config/MG_Videos.xml ...and there is a matching UserController.cfc and UserService.cfc, and the same is true for "News", "Video" and the rest of the site. Via MG_User.xml, I can broadcast a "user.isLoggedIn" message to determine if the user has logged in, and so on. What I'm running into now is, there are times when I'll be in (for example) my NewsController.cfc, and will need to run code that currently exists in the UserController.cfc (usually I need to determine of the user is logged in, or a member of a particular group/security setting, etc). I'd like to get a "sanity check" from someone about what they do when in this situation. Is this a sign that the controllers are too heavy, and that code should be moved to the Service Layer (so I can get to it via the "beans" scope, in all my Controllers, and not worry about this any more)? Would you refactor common code into a BaseController and inherit from that, providing the functionality in both Controllers? Something else that I'm missing entirely? Does this even make sense? :) None of these options are striking me as definitely the right way to go. What would you do?
