Class JavaBeanObjectProperty<T>

java.lang.Object

<any>

javafx.beans.property.adapter.JavaBeanObjectProperty<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

JavaBeanProperty<T>, ReadOnlyJavaBeanProperty<T>

public final class JavaBeanObjectProperty<T>
extends <any>
implements JavaBeanProperty<T>

A JavaBeanObjectProperty provides an adapter between a regular Java Bean property of type T and a JavaFX ObjectProperty<T>. It cannot be created directly, but a JavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder has to be used.

As a minimum, the Java Bean class must implement a getter and a setter for the property. The class, as well as the getter and a setter methods, must be declared public. If the getter of an instance of this class is called, the property of the Java Bean is returned. If the setter is called, the value will be passed to the Java Bean property. If the Java Bean property is bound (i.e. it supports PropertyChangeListeners), this JavaBeanObjectProperty will be aware of changes in the Java Bean. Otherwise it can be notified about changes by calling fireValueChangedEvent(). If the Java Bean property is also constrained (i.e. it supports VetoableChangeListeners), this JavaBeanObjectProperty will reject changes, if it is bound to an ObservableValue<Object>.

Deploying an Application as a Module

If the Java Bean class is in a named module, then it must be reflectively accessible to the javafx.base module. A class is reflectively accessible if the module opens the containing package to at least the javafx.base module.

For example, if com.foo.MyBeanClass is in the foo.app module, the module-info.java might look like this:

 module foo.app {
    opens com.foo to javafx.base;
}

Alternatively, a class is reflectively accessible if the module exports the containing package unconditionally.

Method Detail

get

public T get()

Throws:

java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException - if calling the getter of the Java Bean property throws an IllegalAccessException or an InvocationTargetException.

set

public void set(T value)

Throws:

java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException - if calling the getter of the Java Bean property throws an IllegalAccessException or an InvocationTargetException.

bind

public void bind(<any> observable)

unbind

public void unbind()

isBound

public boolean isBound()

getBean

public java.lang.Object getBean()

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

addListener

public void addListener(<any> listener)

removeListener

public void removeListener(<any> listener)

addListener

public void addListener(InvalidationListener listener)

removeListener

public void removeListener(InvalidationListener listener)

fireValueChangedEvent

public void fireValueChangedEvent()

This method can be called to notify the adapter of a change of the Java Bean value, if the Java Bean property is not bound (i.e. it does not support PropertyChangeListeners).

Specified by:

fireValueChangedEvent in interface ReadOnlyJavaBeanProperty<T>

dispose

public void dispose()

Signals to the JavaFX property that it will not be used anymore and any references can be removed. A call of this method usually results in the property stopping to observe the Java Bean property by unregistering its listener(s).

Specified by:

dispose in interface ReadOnlyJavaBeanProperty<T>

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string representation of this JavaBeanObjectProperty object.

Returns:

a string representation of this JavaBeanObjectProperty object.
