How you model your domain is completely up to you and I would encourage you not to reference any framework classes in the core domain classes. Except for the main application entry point, there is no need to reference any of the Spring AS classes. @John Blanco: I’m not sure what you mean by the dependency on FlexXMLApplicationContext.

What I mean is that Mate has no ability to swap in and out different objects of a type. You can't name an object with an ID, so you are dealing with concrete classes always and you can't sub in mock objects. That being said, I'm diussapointed in that there is a dependency on FlexXMLApplicationContext. So, my model objects would have to be coupled to the Spring framework. It doesn't feel too good to me. In Mate, I had no such restriction...though there were some limitations (such as having to extend InjectorTarget for models). I look forward to the next two articles.

FYI, we are working on a new site, documentation and samples: www.springactionscript.org @A Swiz User: You are absolutely correct that we need better IDE support for this. I'm curious if we could plug into the Spring IDE and provide support for Spring ActionScript xml contexts. (On a sidenote: it should be fairly easy to create a new type of application context for Spring AS that is fed by an MXML config. It might be worth investigating) @pavan kumar: You could easily configure a custom service locator object in Spring AS and use that service locator as a facade on the application context to retrieve services. @Tom Van den Eynde: the return value of getObject() is typed to *, so it is not needed to do a cast. Thanks for the plug Christophe.

I just wonder whether your example compiles because I expected a type cast for remoteObject = applicationContext.getObject("contactRemoteObject"); Anyway: very nice article and I look forward to the other article(s)!

I suppose frameworks like mate & flight also provide some sort of DI. How different is using applicationContext.getObject(…) from ServiceLocator.getObject(…) which i feel is a better abstraction .
