Method Detail

perform

protected java.lang.String perform()
                            throws java.lang.Exception

This is the method you should override to implement application logic. Default implementation just returns "success".

java.lang.Exception

model

public java.lang.Object model()

Default implementation returns "this". This is the typical use case of html form processing; the controller itself will have setters and getters for the various fields. See the FriendBook sample for several examples of this idiom.

It's certainly not necessary to use the controller-as-model pattern. You can return specific objects to custom-tailor the "shape" of the model.
