Matt, I have been actually meaning to ask you about this. I am trying to get a handle on how you are handling information passed down to the view. At this point in the game I am just passing my value object (are these supposed to be called DTOs now?) into my view. However, this brings me back to my first question to you. Consider the case where I want to display full name for a user. I would create a method getFullName() which would do a few tests to determine if the user has a first/middle/last name and then concat them together and split them out. I think, following your model, you would recommend putting this method in the UserForm object, but that would mean that I would have to transfer data from my user object into my UserForm object for use in the view. But then, would I still be able to get to the CompanyForm from the UserForm by using getCompany() in the UserForm? (nested forms). I am just trying to develop a standard here that I can use and I am floating around a bit.
