Question

Extension points at compiler

Hi folks,

I need to add some extra validation at a custom metadata.

Let me start from beginning.

Swiz framework (http://code.google.com/p/swizframework/) uses metadatas to made IoC.

One metadata is this:
[Autowire(bean="helloController")]

But, if I made any miss-spell, like [Autowire(bean="heloControler")] (forgot the second L) it will produce errors at runtime.

What I wanna is to create a validation, to validate this at compile time.

I saw on flex-sdk this BindableExtension, who "changes" my actionscript code to make it Bindable. Is there any way to register one extension at flex-config.xml or using a command line parameter?

BTW, is extension the right path to follow?

We do have a feature request filed for the extension points. It's possibel that there is someone out there in the community looking into this, but I don't believe so right now. I was hoping to get this into Gumbo but we just don't have the time to do it ourselves.<br /><br />Matt<br /><br /><br />On 9/11/08 1:27 PM, "Jono Spiro" <member@adobeforums.com> wrote:<br /><br />A new message was posted by Jono Spiro in<br /><br />Developers --<br /> Extension points at compiler<br /><br /><br />Afraid not.

Is there any documentation available about how to write extensions?
