RE: [flexcoders] cairngorn vs FDS DataService

[Steven Webster]

Hank, Quick answer; I think the Front Controller + Command (service to worker microarchitecture) is still critical to the scalabilty and maintainability of your applications; there's still value in model information being held on the model locator, but FDS means that you don't need the business delegate or service locator for RPC calls, and your collections are managed by FDS.   Also check out http://weblogs.macromedia.com/pmartin/ for Peter's SecureServiceLocator and how he handles messaging with FDS.   Again, sorry for rushed response...   Steven   Steven Webster Practice Leader (Rich Internet Applications) Adobe Consulting Westpoint, 4 Redheughs Rigg, South Gyle, Edinburgh, EH12 9DQ, UK p: +44 (0) 131 338 6108 m: +44 (0) 7917 428 947  [EMAIL PROTECTED]   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of hank williams Sent: 28 July 2006 11:33 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] cairngorn vs FDS DataService I have been looking at Evan Gifford's Cairngorm diagram, and the timing has been good as I now need to introduce sophisticated data updating features. I am already using FDS as a platform for remoting but I am considering using the data services piece. But I am trying to understand whether there is value to cairngorm if I am using DataServices. Because it seems to me data services already handles all changes to the model. You just change the model and your changes are propagated automatically to the server, and any other changes are communicated back to your model, which is already bound to your UI elements. So in this scenario, what is cairgorm doing for you? I have limited time, and I am thinking that at this point, introducing DataServices will give me most (if not all) of the benefits of using cairngorm. Is this right? Comments?
