[flexcoders] [Flex2, Cairngorm] Several Cairngorm instances in one app...?

2006-10-11 Thread Thomas Rühl 

Hello flexcoders,

I am currently building a complex Flex application that has several 
views which differ significantly and are to be displayed depending on 
the user type. This user type is being evaluated at runtime by a login 
component.

For faster development, and the initial rather simple requirements to 
the application, I choose to implement everything into one single 
application, so for now everything is wired up using one 
FrontController, one Model, and so on...

However, regarding some new requirements and therefore the explosiveness 
of the app, chances are pretty good that I will be forced to split 
things up into several single applications, that are dynamically loaded 
at runtime.

The question is, can I start outsourcing things by implementing one 
FrontController for each of the once-to-be sub applications? Has anyone 
experience with this? Without reviewing Cairngorm, I think I might 
already run into problems having more than one FrontController instance...

I'd like each of the sub systems to have its own event handling and 
Cairngorm structure in the background, befor I split it up completely...

Cheerio, Thomas

Hi Thomas,

i can't see a problem with that.

Generally though, if you implement multiple independant
frontcontrollers, you need to take care of the event names. Every
event ends up in the global singleton instance of the
CairngormEventDispatcher. If two events have the same name - boom, the
last one wins. You could add the FrontController's  qualified name to
avoid name clashes, e.g.

public static const EVENT_MY_EVENT : String =
"de.bokelberg.myapp.control.MyAppController.myevent";

Cheers,
Ralf.

Thanks Ralf, that's a great idea, I'll do so :)

This seems a more transparent solution to me than starting to use 
ApplicationDomains in the middle of things.

I am totally excited of how the project will look like in the end...

Cheerio, Thomas
