Hey Söhnke, hope you are fine at your new location. Yes, i looked into Swiz and also the Spring Actionscript extension, by the way, also a very promising project. These IoC frameworks usually have the big feature, that they do not tell you, how to structure your application, means, they are non-invasive. So that’s why we don’t call them architectural frameworks, because they do not propose an architecture, they simply help you in keeping your modules loosely coupled. Great concept.

Hi Sven,
I agree with some of your points and that’s why I like the Swiz framework (http://code.google.com/p/swizframework/) so much. Swiz is more an IoC container framework and gives you total freedom how you organize you code. You do not rely on FrontControllers, ModelLocators or ServiceLocator singleton patterns but let’s you could with the speed of light using dependency injection. There are a few DI frameworks out there and the beautiful thing about Swiz is that you do not rely on an XML configuration but let’s you define your dependencies via metadata aka annotations.
Did you give Swiz a try yet? I am happy to help
Greetings from Brazil,
Sönke
