Thus making a change to the type of service used easy. Consider a change placing your CFC in a different place, or your POJO needs refactored, or you need to switch to using a remote object instead of a webservice. Only one place to do this. The Controller is only a traffic cop really. DK The Service layer abstracts out services. Thus making a change to the type of service used easy.

The Model and Views are obvious, the Controller is a little less obvious but more so with the simple idea that model and view should not talk directly to each other. But... a Service layer. I'm just not sold on it. How it really any different from a Controller? I’m not sure I see the benefit of having a Service layer.

I also like the point made on the Cairngorm site itself (http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Cairngorm), where it not only explains that Cairngorm is itself a framework, but it goes on to offer the following interesting thought on helping folks decide whether and when they should use it, which I think is worth considering in debating use of most any framework: "The benefits of the Cairngorm architecture are realized when developing complex RIA applications with multiple use-cases and views, with a team of developers, and with a multi-disciplinary development team that includes designers as well as creative and technical developers.
