Cairngorm

Cairngorm is the lightweight micro-architecture for Rich Internet Applications built in Flex or AIR. A collaboration of recognized design patterns, Cairngorm exemplifies and encourages best-practices for RIA development advocated by Adobe Consulting, encourages best-practice leverage of the underlying Flex framework, while making it easier for medium to large teams of software engineers deliver medium to large scale, mission-critical Rich Internet Applications.

Cairngorm是Abode推出的Flex RIA框架，其实是MVC的发扬光大，它由七大部分组成。

• Model(数据模型M)：使用singleton(单例)模式共享变量；
• VO( Value Object)：储存特定值对象变量。
• VIew(视图V)：将Model的数据绑定互组件并广播侦听Cairngorm Event；
• Controller(控制器)：侦听Cairngorm事件并将其映射到Cairngorm Command；
• Command(命令)：调用Cairngorm Delegate或其它Command ，并更新Model；
• Delegate(委托)：实例化RPC(远程过程调用)并将其结果返回给Command；
• Business(业务)：定义RPC。
