In [a stack overflow question on the matter of object controllers](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8864337/does-ember-js-still-support-objectcontroller-if-not-what-replaces-it) , the answer was to use Ember.Object as an object controller or object proxy.

What is the best practice for doing this? Is it to have properties on a view bound to App.exampleObjectController.content.propertyName ? If so, do I need to use star notation ('App.exampleObjectController*content.propertyName' or 'App.exampleObjectController.content*propertyName') since the content will change?

On emberjs.com the sample shows App.UserView having bindings to App.userController.content.firstName, etc. Will this continue to work is the content was swapped out?
