I think you are mixing paradigms.
In MVC terms (Model - View - Controller) you have:
Model: Business logic which includes the domain model (the data layer is
simply the persistent representation of your domain model)
View: The pipelines defined in your sitemap that take whatever data is
fed to it and converts the data into something an end user can view
Controller: There are a couple of methods:
a) Pipelines which call actions and then invoke other pipelines to
render the view based upon the results of the actions.
b) Pipelines that call flow. The flow then calls the appropriate
business logic methods and passes the data on to pipelines which
generate the view.
Now in terms of "layers" or tiers you typically have:
1. Presentation tier - consists of Controller and View. Calls are made
to the business tier so whatever "client-side" business methods that are
required must be available.
2. Business tier - contains the actual business methods and the domain
objects. While, in my opinion, this should always be logically separate
from the presentation tier it can be physically combined into the same
container as the presentation tier if that is warranted.
3. Data tier - basically, your data management system.
Note that "controller" is not a layer or a tier. Rather it is part of
the MVC design pattern.

Hi,
this might not be the right list, but since it involves cocoon, maybe
someone could answer my question.
My application is similar to the CHS (Cocoon Hibernate
Spring)-Petstore from Ugo.
In university we learned about the n-tier architecture. So now I'm
trying to assign the different technologies, etc. to the layers.
Data layer: Hibernate for persistenzce, ..
Business Layer: domain model, ...
Control Layer: ?????
Presentation Layer: Views, Cocoon Flow (for navigating through the view)
But which technology is responsible for the contol layeer? Is there
actually a control layer?
Ugo wrote in his presentation at the ApacheCon about a service layer.
Which layer (from the ones above) does this match?
Thanks
