Now that I am back in the office, here is the full ant command we use to
compile cairngorm and exclude all unneccesary libraries:
<exec executable="${FLEX2_COMPC}"
dir="${BUILD}"
vmlauncher="false"
failonerror="true">
<arg value="-load-config+=${basedir}/cairngorm2-config.xml"/>
<arg value="-source-path=${SRC}"/>
<arg
value="-external-library-path+=${SDK_LIB}/playerglobal.swc,${SDK_LIB}/framework.swc,${SDK_LIB}/fds.swc"/>
<arg value="-output=cairngorm.swc" />
</exec>

Hi,
I think you have setup things pretty much the same way I would. Although I have
never gone that far... yet :)
One thing I did notice which you can change is that you said the entire flex
framework gets included in the cairngorm.swc ... doesn't have to be. I build
the carngorm.swc using the command-line compiler and made sure to exclude the
framework.swc, this did reduce the size and is basically what I think you want
to do. Don't remember the exact switch, will have to get that to you tomorrow
once I'm back in the office.

Subject: [flexcoders] Architecting a large, modular Flex application
I just want to bounce this idea/concept off the larger Flex community to see if
there are any holes or possibly better solutions.
I am currently working with a team of developers on a large, modular Flex
application based on the Cairngorm framework. One issue that we are trying to
get our heads around is creating the application in a modular fashion (ie
seperate SWFs for application modules). Each module will only get loaded as
needed by the main shell application in order to keep the overall size and
memory use as small as possible.
The big issue that we are running into is how to setup and develop the module
flex projects in Flex Builder. We need to give the module projects access to
the models, value objects etc (especially bindable
properties) that they need from the main application without having the actual
application implemented version of those classes get compiled into the module
swfs and causing problems when they get loaded into the main application. Our
current thinking is that in order to allow the modules to have full access to
the models, value objects, etc that have been defined in the main application
we create Abstract versions of those classes and put them in a seperate flex
library project which will get compiled as an SWC and get included into the
seperate modules as a runtime shared library (RSL), basically an library of
Abstract classes only (and maybe some Interfaces). The module projects will
also include the Cairngorm.swc as an RSL in order to have access to the
interfaces etc that are defined there and provide the neccessary hooks into the
main application.
The main application will have all of it's models, value objects etc extend the
abstract classes that are defined in the Abstract RSL library. The main
application will also use the cairngorm.swc as an RSL to ensure that the module
swfs load properly when called upon (ie they won't throw a run time shared
library error because they can't find the cairngorm.swc). This results in a
download hit because the entire flex framework gets downloaded in the
cairngorm.swc but we do not see any way around that.
Any feedback, comments, etc from any of you would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Derrick
