[Ravi Kiran Va]

Hi ,


Read that there should be a Single Front Controller per application .

But how to manage this as my application is having number of Modules .

Is it good to have a FrontController per Module??

Please share your ideas.

No. Ginven what a FrontController is for why would you do this?

If you are worried about mixing view and business logic there are patterns for seperating these (see Cairgngorm or PureMVC etc. )

In a modular application you generally have a shell. The shell facilitates the communication between modules via interfaces. So when considering modules as independent sub-applications, having a FrontController (this is a Cairngorm approach) for each module with a top-level shell FrontController is a good approach.
