Re: Reasons For Action Classes

>From my perspective as a very new Turbine experimenter, actions should
probably only rarely add stuff to the context.  They should mostly modify
attributes of components that are put in the context via the PullService or
via the Screen.  When actions add things to the context, your templates
become dependent upon the actions, which is not a good thing IMHO.

Hi,

Someone asked me why the need to separate action
classes from screen class code. In other words, they
were wondering why not have the screen classes do all
the work? I was brain dead at the time so I think I
did not give a very compelling argument why....

So can anybody offer some compelling
reasons/advantages for this design as opposed to
having the screen classes do all the work of putting
and getting?

Thanks,

Peter
