Joomla 3.2 moving things from model, controller to View.

If you've used other frameworks then one thing that might be a little confusing is how things are passed though the MVC design in Joomla.

It may make things much easier to get your head around once you appreciate the page /view/view_html.php is basically a mini-controller page.  

I for example had been putting controller in the Components controller and then calling it up with something like.

 ProductMapperController::sendToFile($xmlOutput);

by putting it in the view_html.php  then I can call it up with

$this->sendToFile($xmlOutput);
