MVC and command pattern

Ok, this is kinda dumb. I'm trying to wrap my head around the use of the MVC and Command Patterns. The questions basically concern where to开发者_如何学Python place code.

In the MVC pattern, where are the Commands instantiated? Are they created by the Controller, or are they contained fully in the Model or neither.

BTW, Should one be using the Command pattern if there is no need of undo/redo.

While there are many variations based on the needs/complexity of an application, you typically find them implemented in the Controller. Here is a great article on using the Command pattern in an MVC architecture. I'm not sure what type of application you are building, but here are a few more resources that show implementations on different application stacks.

To implement Command pattern in an MVC application depends on your specific need. Controller does not create any Command by default. If you need to implement command pattern in a MVC application you have to do it on your own.

You can either implement the commands in the Controller or can do in a separate Service layer. It should not be in Model as Command pattern is behavioural and should be independent of model.
