Another problem with Cairngorm was my project rely heavily on message pushing from server and Cairngorm standard edition was not support because since version 2.1 Adobe decided to separated the enterprise feature to cairngorm (in this case is getConsumer() method) enterprise version, which use well with only LCDS and my project use BlazeDS, so the ugly happen again. I was force by Cairngorm to put consumer logic in view and modelLocator very ugly code.

Now, I decided to refactor my project to use swiz and when I read the project code from http://www.returnundefined.com/2009/05/swiz-example-application-with-presentation-model-pattern, I felled it is lovely framework, It look fun to work with so today I will start to refactor my project with your awesome framework.

So, only one question that I have.

Is there any issue about working with message pushing with swiz like Cairngorm has?

Even if it doesn’t have an getInstance() it still hides a singleton, and any place where you use this it is as if adding an old Whatever.getInstance() call in your code.

I guess one could wrap the calls to Swiz in a bean and have swiz autowire it into the class. Then it’d have dispatcher.dispatch(“foo”), but it requires more boilerplate code for any class needing the “dispatcher”.

What’s your opinion on event bubbling?
The swiz mediator could register itself to the systemManager and catch the events before they fizzle.
This would liberate components from calling static Swiz methods and there’d be no extra injection boilerplate.

@Robin: you are saying that you use binding for dependency injection. Do you mean by that something like:
var modelLocator:IModelLocator = ModelLocator.getInstance();?
If this is so this is no dependency injection aka inversion of control. The thing about dependency injection is the so called Hollywood principle: “Don’t call us, we call you”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_Principle
I think to have a better understanding trying out Swiz is probably the best because than you understand why it is brutally simple to use and offers so much flexibility.
