Hi,

Can DataObjects have controllers like:

class SomeObject extends DataObject {
...
}

class SomeObject_Controller extends ContentController {
...
}

and would that controller work the same way the page controllers work?

I've tried a few different ways of doing this but the methods inside the controller aren't recognized on the page.

Thanks.

No, a DataObject is just arbitrary data. It doesn't know anything about templates or controllers. You'll have to build a custom page controller to display the content of a DataObject.
