"The ADEP Client Component Framework (codename Gravity) is an ActionScript library that takes the concepts of OSGi and applies them to ActionScript. It provides a module and/or plugin architecture in which individual pieces can be added and removed seamlessly. The Gravity SDK comes with the es-sdk package for Experience Services. The parts become much more independent of each other allowing easier integration of content from different teams or repurposing of existing content. It makes it easier to have a library of parts that are put together as needed for applications." http://blogs.adobe.com/dekesmith/2011/10/17/deconstructing-experience-services-client-component-framework-gravity/ HelloGravity Sample Application: http://blogs.adobe.com/gravity/2011/09/09/hellogravity-sample-application/ Video tutorials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxLnnPm-84g&list=UU3x6nH-4vot_ipxZ7CBJutw&index=7&feature=plcp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn7R7W8QaIU&list=UU3x6nH-4vot_ipxZ7CBJutw&index=6&feature=plcp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTEVNudQLWk&list=UU3x6nH-4vot_ipxZ7CBJutw&index=5&feature=plcp A similar framework is Potomac: http://www.potomacframework.org/ The Potomac Framework for Flex is: * A modularity framework inspired by OSGi * A UI composition framework that pulls user interface 'parts' together to form applications * A general purpose business application framework (providing reusable features for business applications) * A dependency injection framework * An extensible metadata processor with reflection support --------------010602020600050701010403--
