Let me say firstly that I have posted this in the Adobe Cairngorm forum but got
no replies so hoping someone here can help me (I'll update the forum thread
when I get an answer).

Hi,
I'm using Cairngorm for my flex apps which have a lot of database/server
interaction.
Occasionally my host is slow and doesn't respond in time. I'd like to retry
these failed remote service calls a few times before alerting the user that
there really is a problem.
Are there any conventions for doing this?
I'm thinking of adding a retry counter somewhere - maybe the Model or
ServiceLocator? - and then dispatching a new Event in the Command fault handler.
public function fault(event:Object):void {
if(retryCount < retryMax) {
new MyServiceEvent...
}else{
Alert.show...
}
I'm wondering whether I'll run into issues generating another event in the
fault handler? This must have been solved before! - but I've read through the
Cairngorm docs, searched the forums and can't find any mention of it. All
Command Fault Handler examples I've found either do nothing or generate an
Alert.
I'm also having trouble simulating the timeout if anyone has any suggestions? -
I'm using Zend PHP server side.
cheers
