Hello everyone,

I was going through the design pattern and the MVC model. I tried to create a demo project but got stuck. I want to implement both MVC Model and Factory pattern.

I just want to query data from database but I am not sure where to implement the Factory as on MODEL or on CONTROLLER.

Guys please tell where should I implement the factory and why.

Thanks
NM

I think it depends what you want to create with your factory. In a MVC application imo its usually used to configure your application with different GUI styles. But I dont really see how a factory fits in either of the MVC layers. It's more like a separate concept for the creation of objects. This doesn't mean a factory can't be usefull in a MVC application but i would keep it separated from the other components.

I agree with the previous statement with one small adition, you should really think where you'd like to instantiate the objects. I would find it really strange if you'd do that from the view. Let the controller talk to the factory when the model needs to be shown by the view.
