Title: Command setting data 'source' on proxy? Post by: WillyCornbread on April 16, 2010, 05:38:52 Hi - another beginner question,
Is it okay for a command to pass the source of data to a proxy? I have a startup type command that uses a bulk sequential loader to get a few different configuration files, etc that are needed for application startup. The command loads the assets, then when all are complete, creates and registers a few proxies, passing in their XML data to the proxy constructor. The proxy constructor takes the XML, creates some smartVO's and sets them as the data for the proxy. Am I on the right track? Thanks again for any advice, I'm building a fairly complex app as my first foray into PureMVC and want to make sure I am at least close to best practices as I become more comfortable. thanks in advance - b Title: Re: Command setting data 'source' on proxy? Post by: puremvc on April 18, 2010, 04:02:06 Don't use Commands to do service operations, that's Model tier stuff. Do it inside the Proxy or a Delegate invoked by the Proxy if you feel the need to create one.
You might want to have a look at the Loadup utility which is good for this sort of thing. -=Cliff> Title: Re: Command setting data 'source' on proxy? Post by: WillyCornbread on April 18, 2010, 04:44:48 Thanks for the response, I'm really struggling with this piece of my app. I started to look into the Startupmanager/Loadup utility but I was unable to find docs or examples that gave me a clear picture of how to use it. (That I could wrap my head around)
I'll look further - if you know of a simple example I'd love to take another look. I'm simply trying to get all of the assets I need for application startup loaded without resorting to chaining commands and notifications as they are loaded. Thanks again for your activity on this forum - b Title: Re: Command setting data 'source' on proxy?

I'm not certain how I missed this before, but it seems like enough to get me going with the utility.
Thanks again, b |
