I'm looking for a way to expose my forms (currently Surface Controllers) via web service without repeating myself too much - ideally I'd like to reuse the model (especially the validation) and anything else I can without it getting too icky. I was toying with using the Surface Controller actions (Friday induced madness) but I've boxed that idea - I'll just abstract the form logic out of the controller and do it that way.
My only question now is: is there a good way to bind post data to the model, preferably using the same mechanism MVC uses?
Thanks in advance, all thoughts and comments welcome!
Ahhh, thanks for the link Tim! I'm embarressed to say I'm actually not well versed in Umbraco's Web API stuff so when all I found was this resource (http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/WebApi/) I didn't realise it would handle my model binding needs.
I'll make a note to check Umbraco TV next time before posting! :)
