A little while back I created a small app that shows how you can use Spry Datasets with Mach-II. Since then I have made a few modifications to help show ways you can use other frameworks within the app (ColdSpring is used within this example). I strongly suggest reviewing  Chris Scott's example on AOP in ColdSpring if you need to know more about that subject.

I've updated my original example to use/do the following:

• ColdSpring to hold the gateway/DAO/Factory being used now.
• ColdSpring AOP is enabled to show simple logging capabilities
• An optional ColdSpring service injector using its built in createBeanDefinition method:
• found within lib.com.machii.listeners.BaseListener
• can be turned on from within the MessageListener (lib.com.machii.MessageListener) Line# 38
  NOTE: Turning this on will keep AOP functionality from working as my current code does not support working with AOP dynamically when working with createBeanDefinition

Lately I have been working with Spry and seeing all the amazing things it can do. Just the other day I was messing around with working with multiple nested data sets derived from a master data set and I thought I would share my experience. 

 All in all, it was fabulous. The way spry can work with nested data sets it top notch. I was able to pull one "master" data set, then build new nested data sets from that master. I was even able to build a nested data set from a nested data set... very very nice! After I had all my data sets I was able to use one region to display all of my information.

 I used Cold Fusion as the back end supplier of the data, but anything can be used.

 I have attached example code so you can see what I did. Download it here!
