The last weeks or maybe even months, I have spent time getting to understand the Axon Framework created by Allard. Axon is a framework that can help developers created a scalable and maintainable application based on Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) principles. Each morning Allard and I discussed the framework and the sample we wanted to have. Since I know my way around flex and Axon makes heavily use of events, I decided to create a flex client that could demonstrate some cool features of the Axon framework.
This post is mainly about flex and Parsley. We will go into depth of the architecture of the client and how to talk to the server. I will describe the communication with the application that makes use of the axon framework, but I will not go into a lot of details. If you want more information about the Axon Framework I suggest you go to the website http://www.axonframework.org. There is good documentation available in the reference manual. If you want to learn about flex and the Parsley framework in general, please read on.

For a project that I am working on Your-Scrum I need a lot of items in a list that are sortable. One Story is to have a backlog with stories that are sortable to reflect the importance. Using Domain Driven Design, I have created a rich domain model. Using the model, we can execute all stories related to sorting items in a list. At the front-end I want an easy way to handle the sorting. I found a library for jQuery that can do the job for a large part on the client. Still there are some server side components as well.
