calling the controller 1.5 vs 3.6

[becyn82]

I am somewhat cofused by looking at the Joomla component tutorial and some "real world" components.

Is the JImport class deprecited where:
[code] jimport('joomla.application.component.controller');
class HelloworldControllerHelloworld extends JControllerLegacy
{

    function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();

    }[/code]

now to be written:

[code]

$controller = JControllerLegacy::getInstance('HelloWorld');[/code]

Which seems to call and extend the controller in one line rather than each done separately?

In other words, it's a much more stramlined way to do the same thing?

One is the controller, the other is the part where the controller is called. These do not do the same thing. However, you do not need jimport() anymore. Most of the time, this is done by auto loading.

To be a bit more precise: You are looking at different files here. The
first can be found in controller.php and should look pretty similar in
3.x to 1.5. Please make sure that you are writing PHP5 code. The missing
access modifier to your constructor hints at PHP4 code...

The other file is your helloworld.php file, which did stuff a lot more
specifically in 1.5 and now in 3.x it loads the controller for you
automatically.
