Proxy related logic in the command

[eliatlas]

Let's say I have a proxy, with some properties in it.
And I have a command that has to access the API of the proxy, depending on some logic related to the properties of the proxy.
Where should I have all the logic, inside the command, or inside the proxy?

For example:

:

if (myProxy.a > myProxy.b)
{
    myProxy.foo()
}
else
{
    myProxy.foo2()
}
or just

:

    //figureFoo compares myProxy.a and myProxy.b and calls the relevant function in myProxy
    myProxy.figureFoo()

The reason I am asking, is that the logic is pretty complicated, and I want the proxy to be clean.

The Proxy, or a Value Object is probably the best place as opposed to a Command.

If you don't want the Proxy to have this logic, you could have a Value Object with properties a and b and the method figureFoo(), or better yet an implicit accessor get foo(), so that it appears you have a derived property foo (assuming you're using AS3, if not, then just a getFoo()).

The reasoning for not putting domain logic into a command (where business logic lives) is that it makes it difficult to reuse the Model tier - one of the most valuable outcomes of using MVC. For instance, my current client has a Flex web application that we now have a desktop viewer for, as well as an iPad viewer. The use cases and consequent business logic varies from app to app, but the Model tier remains the same.
