I always put the event name into the class - cairngorm event, or any event. I don't know why anyone wouldn't. This way around you can't have mismatched event class names (well not easily) and you have only one place to go to maintain your event.

I like that is results in the call to AddCommand having both the event class and the command class explicitly referenced as shown below. addCommand(GetSomeDataEvent.GET_SOME_DATA_EVENT, GetSomeDataCommand); hth Scott Scott MelbyFounder, Fast Lane Software LLChttp://www.fastlanesw.com Fernando Ghisi wrote: Where is the best place to put the static variable that stores the name of an event, in the class of this event (extends CairngormEvent) or in the class that extends FrontController and consumes this event?
