this is probably because you are still instantiating the ServiceLocator via the Service.mxml file. If you still have the problem, please get on the prana user mailinglist or e-mail at info [at] herrodius [dot] com.

I’m glad it’s working now.

You are absolutely right about the documentation. I’m aware of that fact that there should be some updates here and there. I’ll try my best to address these issues in the coming days/weeks.

A wiki would actually be a great idea. I’ll see what I can do. Thanks for your comments and suggestions!

its working now and it also makes sense . It’s the first time that I’m using Dependency Injection but I think I got the idea. Instead of a hard coded ServiceLocator we get an external and variable one. Of course there’s other stuff we can configure externally using Prana/DI.
Im also interested in feature driven development and want to be able to enable/disable features (for example a feature could be a “Remember me” option in an login screen, which can be enabled or disable for different customers) and I hope/think that should be possible using Prana.

What it makes somewhat hard to start with Prana is the missing or not up to date documentation. As you can see I used your older examples with the newest version and it didn’t work out as expected .

Maybe it would help if there would be a wiki on pranaframework.org which could be kept up to date by the users. With topics like “Setting up Cairngorm Service Locator using Prana” , hehe.

Anyway, thanks for the hint.
Greeting,

you no longer need a Services.mxml in your code if you use the CairngormServiceLocator class. Just define all your services in your application context file and remove the Services.mxml file (or its reference in your application).

The only thing to make sure is that the CairngormServiceLocator class and the ones of the services (e.g. RemoteObject) are compiled in your application.

Let me know if this works out for you.

Christophe

I’m trying to configure my ServiceLocator using Prana and got into some troubles. My application context contains the following lines:

getDiscussionTopicsService

referencing an HTTPService (getDiscussionTopicsService).

My Services.mxml is inheriting the CairngormServiceLocator which is part of the prana framework.

Whenever i start the app it tells me that: Error: C0001E: Only one ServiceLocator instance can be instantiated

Thanks in advance for any hint

have you referenced the RemoteObject class in your code so it gets compiled? I haven’t tried it with Flex Builder 3, but I don’t think it will result in different behavior than Flex Builder 2.

A class with the name ‘mx.rpc.remoting.mxml.RemoteObject’ could not be found.

Have you run into this?
