12 years ago From an old bowler-users email:
the main traits, like Validations, Renderable and ParameterMapper are not constrained to only being used in a Controller, they can be mixed in at any level on any type of object, so if you for instance want validation in a service-object, you can validate there, as it may make more sense.
Only "gotcha" case is if you use something like Akka to pass between what is effectively different threads, in that case you will likely have to pass Request and Response around IF you are using traits that require them, like "Renderable".
There are some things in Bowler that are currently undocumented. I would appreciate some guidance from @wfaler on this issue, as it's possible some features are "unfinished".
I should probably also go through the closed issues and consider if any of them indicate something missing in the docs.
