model view controller - ASP.NET MVC: Nesting ViewModels within each other, antipattern or no? -

-

i have project viewmodels nested within each other such string-typed replication of domain hierarchy. example, if our domain has following relationships:

organization has 1 many environments

environment has 1 many machines

then there organizationviewmodel has 1 many environmentviewmodels in it, , environmentviewmodel have 1 many machineviewmodels themselves. style of hierarchy reused throughout app, 1 of 5 viewmodels of type. (e.g. environmentviewmodel used multiple pages, machineviewmodel many of them well, depending on level of hierachy being viewed...i've simplified purposes of discussion hierachy little larger 3 above).

now, as i'd come down above , condemn practice, haven't been able find information on this. can point me more details established practice? anecdotes share?

(my own bias these viewmodels shouldn't nested within each other way, , viewmodels should correspond views, not domain objects. find pretty messy maintainability issues. i'd know others think or have experienced.)

i've attached question reference describes nesting domain object within viewmodel, not viewmodels within each other.

the viewmodel should flat possible (although nested immutable objects used logically group multiple related properties ok tidying purposes).

dont think of "the viewmodel should correspond view", think of other way around: "the view html representation of viewmodel data".

viewmodel horrible term because not view , not model, representation of resource.

if do:

`get /user/1`

i expect data representing user 1. if thats in html format because sent

`accept: text/html`

then it. consider viewmodel xml or json.

try , avoid nesting viewmodels youre creating dependency chain, duplicate properties, youre not violating dry really

php - What is the difference between $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO']? -

what’s difference between $_server['path_info'] , $_server['orig_path_info'] ? how use them? when run print_r($_server) , path_info , orig_path_info not present in array. why not? how can enable them? i have read php manual on them, still don’t understand them. the path_info variable present if invoke php script this: http://www.example.com/phpinfo.php/hello_there it's /hello_there part after .php script. if don't invoke url that, there won't $_server["path_info"] environment variable. the porig_ prefix uncommon. path_info standard cgi-environment variable, , should never prefixed. did read that? (there issues around php3/php4 if invoked php interpreter via cgi-bin/ - hardly has such setups today.) for reference: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3875

fortran - Function return type mismatch -

i'm attempting recode old c++ program in fortran make use of lapack (i'm aware c++ have lapack++, i'm having lot of trouble installing it, gave up). i didn't have problems compilation, when had variables declared real . when started coding section of program required lapack, found parameters passed dsyev need double precision . tried change double precision (including changing hard coded numbers double precision counterparts, i.e. 0.0 -> 0.0d0) when try compile, following error of functions , subroutines i've written: error: return type mismatch of function <function> @ (1) (real(4)/real(8)) i'm not sure coming from, in program has been changed double precision. for example, i've declared following: double precision :: alpha(3),d(3),zeta1,zeta2 double precision :: a1(3),a2(3),d1(3),d2(3) double precision :: pi pi = 3.14159265359d0 alpha = (/0.109818d0, 0.405771d0, 2.22766d0/) d = (/0.444635d0, 0.535328d0, 0.154329d0 /) 10 i=1,3 ...

queue - mq_receive: message too long -

-
i implementing communication between 2 processes using queue. problem when call function mq_receive, error: message long. i have done following: struct mq_attr attr; long size = attr.mq_msgsize; .... // initializing queue "/gateway" int rc = mq_receive(gateway, buffer, size, &prio); if print size value, size=1, while when print same size program (got same mechanism), not long integer ( -1217186280 )... how can solve error?....so while size = 1, believe it's right "message long" why 1? p.s. have tried put : int rc = mq_receive(gateway, buffer, sizeof(buffer), &prio); but no result. it seems need read docs more carefully. when call mq_receive should pass size of destination buffer. this size must greater mq_msgsize attribute of queue . in addition, seems have error in queue attributes initialisation makes proper mq_receive call impossible. here standard message queue session: fill mq_attr struct ( doc ): struct mq_a...
