This method is actually the only one from ComposableModel with direct Morphic binding :)
I am still trying to move that away, but I needed the rebuild to work
i think you can introduce own protocol (and put it as extension to morphic, if you want to) so, instead of saying widget removeAllMorphs you will use own extension method ,like: widget specRemoveAllChilds etc (spec here is namespacing prefix for a method, to indicate that it belongs to spec package and to indicate that it is a contract implied between spec and widget)

Hi Ben,
I really would like to write Spec binding for Phobos (Esteban will want to do it for Mars etc.). But, how to say that, Spec was not written with UI Independence in mind :-) Very basic example of that fact:
ComposableModel>>buildWithSpec: aSpec "Build the widget using the spec name provided as argument" | widget |
(self spec notNil and: [ self needRebuild not ]) ifTrue: [ | old | self needRebuild: true. old := self widget. old removeAllMorphs. self ensureExtentFor: old. widget := SpecInterpreter buildMorphFor: self withSpec: aSpec. widget submorphs do:[ :e | old addMorphBack: e ]. self spec instance: old. ^ old ] ifFalse: [ widget := SpecInterpreter buildMorphFor: self withSpec: aSpec. ].
self ensureExtentFor: widget.
^ widget
Can you please do at least basic steps in the architecture of Spec to make it more independent on Morphic?
Cheers, -- Pavel

It was part of my battle plan to rule the world ;)
We wanted with Nico to part it to Amber to get the Javascript part for free, then generate some XUL :)
Anyway, really cool job, and impressive as well :)

It looks really nice. I imagine that Spec could generate XUL too.

Hi all,
I would like to introduce you Phobos - the XULRunner based Smalltalk framework for development of native GUI with standard look&feel for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
It is based on Zinc, WebSockets and Seaside continuations. For more information including more screenshots see the project page:
http://code.google.com/p/phobos-framework/
You should pay attentions to FAQ too: http://code.google.com/p/phobos-framework/wiki/FAQ
Phobos has Seaside-like components and rendering style, can combine XUL with HTML or SVG, supports printing etc.
