MVCS Design implementation in Flex and/or Parsley

Here are varioius approaches to implement MVCS design using Flex and Parsley. MVCS - Model View Controller and Service. MVCS contains one more layer, called as Service. Service is used to contain business logic. It can be on client side or at server side, depending upon the application architecture. (Refer for MVC definition



Here we are defining MVCS from Flex and Parsley perspective.Following MVCS, there can be various kind of layers and interaction.

Layers and Flow of control
  • View
    • MXML and View Logic
    • Interacts with Presentation Model for data
    • May Interact with Commands for action implementation
  • Presentation Model
    • Contains data state for view, may contains data transfer object from Service
    • May interact directly with services for data related operations
    • Or can have interaction channel with Commands to have update for data 
    • Injected in View as stateless object
  • Commands
    • Contains view logic to act upon various user action from UI
    • Helps to break the UI logic in various objects which acts based on the action
    • Interact with Services for data related operations or Business Logic
    • May update the presentation model for data state
    • Can act as singleton stateless objects and linked with event mechanism 
    • Or view can have their reference as per architecture preference
  • Service
    • Contains business logic and data related operations
    • Can be on server side and may be implemented in various language like PHP or Java etc
    • Can be on client side in case of desktop application, can use assql like MySQL connector to interact with database
    • Service Delegates generally injected in Commands or Presentation Model using DI
Now there are many interaction models between these four layers depending upon overall application architecture or architect preference.
