As a long-time Model-Glue user (since the 1.0 days, back when I was at
Macromedia and used Model-Glue for an ERP integration app), I have to
be honest and say I've never liked this dichotomy. Here's why:
function someControllerMethod( ... ) {
if ( someCondition ) {
...addResult("foo"); // what does this line do?
} else {
...addResult("bar"); // what does this line do?
}
...
}
Without knowing whether the result is declared with redirect="true",
you cannot tell, just by looking at that code what it does. Its
behavior is tightly coupled to another part of the system in a
non-obvious manner: the two near identical lines could have completely
different behaviors.
Pretty much impossible to change this now, due to backward
compatibility, but it is one of the few design decisions in MG's
history that I wish had a different outcome...
