Re: [fw-mvc] nested framework calls

Yeap, it looks very ugly to dispatch another Front Controller, I'll try your suggestion to web-service layer to handle communication between the apps.

Thanks for your help,
Remy

You may want to read this:

With Fat Models you should be able to simply use them within another
app, if you have a lot of business logic in your controllers you wont
be able to do this.

The only other way I can think of is to use a web service to wrap the
second apps functionality. Again though this is hard if you have logic
in your controllers.

I would say trying to dispatch another Front Controller is a bad
solution, it will create horrible overheads even if it is possible to
get it working.
