Modular applications and stage processors

[GlennV]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to create a modular Flex application using spring actionscript and have a few questions.

My application has an app context containing common services and each module has a child context with the application's context as parent.

Based on your multiple-modules sample and BasicSASModule, I can get this to work, as long as I only have an autowiring stage processor in the module's contexts but not in the application's context (like in your sample).

However, when I do add the stage processor in the app's context, so I can autowire outside of modules as well, then I run into errors when the modules get autowired. E.g.:
Error: Can't autowire property by name: Unsatisfied dependency in object [null] for property [niftyService]

It seems both the app's stage processor and the module's processor are tried for the autowiring and the app's processor throws the error because it doesn't know the object.

Am I supposed to only use autowiring in modules?
Can I set things up differently to make autowiring in both app and modules possible?

Cheers,

Glenn

Hey Glen,

do you set the Autowire policy like this?

FlexStageProcessorRegistry.getInstance().modulePolicy=ModulePolicy.IGNORE;

By default SpringAS will try to wire modules, by setting this property like this it'll leave the wiring to the module's context.

Hope that helps,

cheers,

Roland

That helped, thanks

Hi Glenn,

you could have a look at http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?t=99467 .

I have created a SASModuleLoader (SpringActionscript)ModuleLoader which is able to load modules with an own context into the context of a master application.

Maybe this is useful for you.
