Iam building a Zend Rest Controller, and iam unsure about where to get the data from.
Basically i need to output the database data as xml format to the view.
Do i employ a model to controller data exchange,
or just query database and get the data in the controller itself, without the need of a model?
I see, most of the people are employing the latter scenario
In additional to using a full MVC approach, I have read about people using Zend_Rest_Server, the argument being that you don’t need to incur the overhead of the full MVC stack in order to handle such a request.
However, if you do choose to go with handling the request via MVC, then you can use a context-switch to change the view rendered.
However, in both cases, I believe it is generally preferable to have a service/model to access the data. This makes the access code more re-usable in other situations.
