Hi Colin, yeah I was wondering about the interaction between the controller and the model when it comes to form validation.

To me, form validation should be the job of the controller as the presence of forms has nothing to do with the model of the data. The model should be responsible only for ensuring the data it needs and receives (passed to it from the controller) is valid. Of course, this means that essentially there could be a double up / redundancy in functionality. If the form validation is ensuring the presence of fields A,B,and C, and the model also ensures that there are values for A,B,and C before doing an insert/update, then the same thing is being done twice.

How do folks handle this?
