Notes on Model/View

  The ZopeMozilla project has emphasized a need to break Zope into a
  Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecure.  This need was reinforced
  by Jon Udell's talk at the Zope Track, in which he asserted that
  Zope shouldn't return HTML when an XML-RPC client adds a folder.

  This Wiki collects information about MVC and how it can apply to
  Zope.

    A Google search on 'model/view' turns up quite a wealth of
    fabulously written pieces.

    First, two articles with lots of pretty graphics. "Model View
    Controller",
    http://www.object-arts.com/EducationCentre/Overviews/MVC.htm.
    "Model-View-Presenter Framework",
    http://www.object-arts.com/EducationCentre/Overviews/ModelViewPresenter.htm.
    
    Next, a terse architectural description at "The
    Model-View-Controller Architecture",
    http://rd13doc.cern.ch/Atlas/Notes/004/Note004-7.html.

    A practical treatment is given at "the model-view-controller
    design pattern",
    http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~cbaray/projects/mvc.html .  The resource
    also has a list of references.  This is a tutorial spread across
    about ten pages that demonstrates MVC in practice using Java.

  I'll be typing down my thoughts on this: ZopeMVC --MartijnPieters

  JodyWinston -- My concern with MVC is basically what are we going to do about cycles?  All of my MVC code in CPython has a finalize method that only exists to break cycles.

  Please allow us to use plain text formatting,  the code looks very poor.

  Shalabh : Look at ModelCode now. I grouped the code in (pre) (/pre) and it worked! (bug in wiki?)

  JodyWinston -- Thanks, I added the (pre) and (/pre) to the code.

  Here's some code to get the discussion started ModelCode, ViewCode, ControllerCode, EventCode, ReasonCode, ModelDetetedCode, CallbackCode, and a SampleUse.

  A container that holds both the View and the Controller is shown in ObserverCode.
