Fat model

Today I had the chance to enjoy a dinner with David Black and some other Ruby folks in Berlin. We were discussing about legacy Rails code. Many newbies tend to write fat controllers with many pages of codes and 30 something methods. One was arguing that this is also Java style. I am now thinking thats not prefered even in Java though it was engouraged in J2EE because Entity Beans had been such a crap. Its just functional programming style where you end when you dont understand object orientation.
