And, yes I know about shaun & RobotLegs. I just wish I had a better understanding of why he made that suggestion. Cheers, Dave Hi Thomas,

Nice post - thanks for the provided code and walk through. Btw. shaun wrote RobotLegs so you better do what he says ;-) Keep up the good work! Hi Dave.

Nice post – thanks for the provided code and walk through. Btw. shaun wrote RobotLegs so you better do what he says ;-)

Keep up the good work!

I just read the docs for getInstance() and instantiate() and it sounds like the main difference is that instantiate will always create a new instance while getInstance will create a new instance only if one does not yet exist. I could see where calling instantiate could lead to the creation of unnecessary objects in some scenarios. But I don't see that as a problem here. It's my understanding that Context.startup is called only once for a Context instance. So, I would expect that only a single instance of SWFAddressProxy would ever be created. The instantiate() docs do discuss other aspects related to using dependency injectors other than the default SwiftSuspenders. I'm a bit vague on those issues but, here too, that doesn't seem to be a concern for this example since I'm using the default injector. Finally, getInstance takes as a parameter a String name variable, presumably so that the caller can request a specific instance for the use case where multiple instances of a given class are being used. That doesn't seem to be an issue here either. Maybe I'm missing something, though. If that's the case, I'd appreciate knowing what. Regards, Dave Shaun,
