Are you aware of the variations on MVC, in particular Model-View-Presenter? MVP has been so successful in Smalltalk that I consider MVC obsolete. Taligent's whitepaper is here:
This is password protected. Somewhere else perhaps?
You can get this document here: http://web.archive.org/web/20010827084558/www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/lib... Note however, the only difference between this and the original is that they've simply replaced most occurances of "C++" with the word "Java" - now that's heretical revisionism if ever I saw it !
and there is more material at Object Art's Smalltalk site: http://www.object-arts.com/EducationCentre/Overviews/ModelViewPresenter.htm
A cursory glance, and I can't see any distiction between the concept of a Presenter and Controller.
Okay, a search for Controller on the page reveals this link.
