Comments on: Model(Locator), easy way to manage your data http://www.nielsbruin.nl/blog/?p=85 How YOU doin' ?

But you're totally right that you can implement other features to it like Dictionary and ValueObject. I also refered to the Cairngorm and ARP framework, where some of these features are implemented. Maybe you can post an article sometimes about an advanced ModelLocator? Yes this was a simple example, just to explain the advantages of a Model.

And I know this is supposed to be a simple example but I like to add some comment on it. First thing: I wouldn't set variables in your model. I would have given the Model 2 functions, setData() and getData(). Those functions can fill dictionary in your model. The Dictionary is a handy tool in which you can place attributes under a certain "key". Second thing I would do is incorparate the valueObjects in the model. So setting and getting the valueObjects goes through the Model. This is handy because a ValueObject is also a storage for data but it is also used in communication with the server. So you can send your ValueObject to a server function simply by getting them through the model. Hope this is a bit usefull for you. Good luck! Hey Niels,
