I like to know, As in Caringorm we write custom events and can pass some values through commants. How it can be define in Swiz? Can anyone give sample code for same?

I waited for you and other swiz guru to answer my question. Please visit to http://groups.google.com/group/swiz-framework/browse_thread/thread/43a722a6ef92eec8

him_aeng, you should be able to solve message push more elegant with Swiz. I would recommend to post your question to the swiz mailinglist to get feedback from the Swiz community.

Recently, I just finished my project yesterday. That project use .swc file that publish from flash cs3 using flex component kit heavily. So the problem with this approach was that your view code was boilerplate. I have to addEventListener with every button when the frame was entered. When I dispatch the view event to Cairngorm command I found many of same problem. It doesn’t work right, so sometime I have to write command code in view itself it look ugly and many line.

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?

Yep, for the record: Swiz supports now bubbling events and the BeanLoader contains a protected dispatcher instance which can be set in every bean loaded in a BeanLoader.

What about Swiz.dispatch(“loadContacts”)?

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.
