[Openinteract-dev] SPOPS for Web App Development

[David C. R. <dr...@xo...>]

Hi,

I have some questions that I hope are germaine to this list.  i am
developing a web-based application for a client that does typical web db app
stuff (track records, let people view/edit/create based on group priveleges,
etc.).  They unfortunately require that it be run on one of their servers,
meaning that I am limited somewhat in terms of what I can put on their
machine, and I can't use OpenInteract or Template Toolkit.  I am using SPOPS
and a rudimentary templating module.  Is there a "best pratice" for using
SPOPS in such a way? Specifically, where should logic be implemented and how
should action dispatch be handled?  I am thinking of the approach of adding
a common handler 'code_class' to each class.  The handler will contain
methods and also a dispatch mechanism to determine the appropriate method
and template to employ based on user privilege, current class and requested
action.  Is there a cleaner way to do this?

Thanks,
Dave
