Sounds to me that your over complicating a bit. What you probably could
do is provide a base set of classes for you model/data and then one or
more adapters to add the needed conversion to and from framework
specifics. In general I think that while ease of reuse is a great idea,
you aren't going to be able to achieve it 100% anyway, so its best to
find a compromise between ease of use and ease of reuse (amongst other
considerations). In general it seems to be that actually switching a UI
framework is a major undertaking to begin with (they usually have all
sorts of changes required not just of the model code but also of the
skins, graphics, etc) that it is usually best to pick one and stick with
it until or unless it becomes less painful to switch than to keep using
the existing framework.

Hi,
we are looking into using another component set than the v2 architecture.
However we don't want to switch over and over again, and frankly as the
architecture developer I dont want anything to do with components at all.
So I was thinking about a setup where I write component interfaces
such as
IComboBox and a set of wrappers such as V2ComboBoxAdapter implements
IComboBox.
Next a designer creates a view, and puts something in his view like (im
making it up as I'm typing) :
getComboBox (id:String):IComboBox {
return AbstractFactory.create (V2Adapters.COMBO_BOX, _root.cbPersons);
}
In terms of being independent of my views, I can just start putting an
app
together and if the designer dude wants to skin it differently or use a
whole other component set he is free to do so, even mix and match is an
option.
The main thing I'm wondering about is whether I'm gruesomely
overcomplicating things and just causing a heckload of work for no good
reason other than that I am not familiar with a single very good
component
set that satisfies all the designer needs (I'm not saying they don't
exist,
I'm saying I don't have enough experience in any of them to make a
wellformed decision, and don't really have the time to test them one by
one:)).
Hope this makes any sense!
