Solution to Inject Renderer Using Spring ActionScript 0.8

[Santosh Kumar]

Hey Christophe,

I found an elegant way to inject renderers using Spring Actionscript Frame Work. Please find the attached files

bin-release.zip contains the output folder with view source enabled.

SpringProject.zip is a Flex Archive Project also contains all the source files.

I'm contributing the following files placed in the package org.springextensions.actionscript.objects


ClassRendererFactory.as
IClassRendererFactory.as

to enable the support for renderer injection using spring Actionscript 0.8.

Why ?

Because Flex Frame Work all renderers(itemRenderer,HeaderRenderer etc) are created using ClassFactory, ContextualClassFactory etc they all implement IFactory interface which instantiates renderer object using key word 'new' internally by flex framework. So we don't want to instantiate renderer object using 'new' key word, So created  ClassRendererFactory implements IFactory,IClassRendererFactory which implements newInstance() method where we hook up the applicationContext to create renderer object defined in applicationContext.xml .

For More details:

 I have documented all the source code,  Please review them, let me know your thoughts.

All Members:

I hope everyone gets my attachments, if not please feel free to email me at santoshku...@gmail.com

I'm excited about the power of framework.

Thanking you,

Regards,
Santosh Kumar

Hi Christophe,

I found one small mistake in Document for both in html version and PDF version.

Documents Defect:

#1 (3.1.1.4. The Command Factory)

CommandBase Class (there is no _modelInstance declared as a variable)

  function set applicationModel(value:IApplicationModel):void {

// It should be  _applicationModel not _modelInstance ;

        _modelInstance = value;
    }

#2 ApplicationModelAwareCommandFactory Class

   Same issue as #1 exist here


public function createCommand(clazz:Class):ICommand { …}

There are 2 interfaces defined for Icommand as below

1.org.springextensions.actionscript.mvcs.command.ICommand
2.com.adobe.cairngorm.commands.ICommand

I knew "com.adobe.cairngorm.commands.ICommand" is correct, still it would be nice to add a comment to use the correct interface. Otherwise people might import wrong interface and get run-time Flash Player Exception.
