Ok, I guess thats fair enough to keep business logic calls limited to action classes only.
How do you suggest I impliemnt the case where the user is supposed to directly land on a URL, and some information from business logic is required. e.g the case where user clicks on a forgot password email sent to him/her. Here the information embeded in the URL needs to be sent to the Business Logic for processing. Based on information returned by the Business Logic the user is allowed to proceed to reset password or not.
