Class ReadOnlyJavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder<T>

java.lang.Object

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

Type Parameters:: T - the type of the wrapped Object

public final class ReadOnlyJavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder<T> extends Object

A ReadOnlyJavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder can be used to create ReadOnlyJavaBeanObjectProperties. To create a ReadOnlyJavaBeanObjectProperty one first has to call create() to generate a builder, set the required properties, and then one can call build() to generate the property.

Not all properties of a builder have to specified, there are several combinations possible. As a minimum the name(java.lang.String) of the property and the bean(java.lang.Object) have to be specified. If the name of the getter follows the conventions, this is sufficient. Otherwise it is possible to specify an alternative name for the getter (getter(java.lang.String)) or the getter Methods directly (getter(java.lang.reflect.Method)).

All methods to change properties return a reference to this builder, to enable method chaining.

If you have to generate adapters for the same property of several instances of the same class, you can reuse a ReadOnlyJavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder. by switching the Java Bean instance (with bean(java.lang.Object) and calling build().

Since:

JavaFX 2.1

Method Details

create

public static <T> ReadOnlyJavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder<T> create()

Create a new instance of ReadOnlyJavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder

Type Parameters:: T - the type of the wrapped Object
Returns:: the new ReadOnlyJavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder

build

public ReadOnlyJavaBeanObjectProperty<T> build() throws NoSuchMethodException

Generate a new ReadOnlyJavaBeanObjectProperty with the current settings.

Returns:: the new ReadOnlyJavaBeanObjectProperty
Throws:: NoSuchMethodException - if the settings were not sufficient to find the getter of the Java Bean property

name

public ReadOnlyJavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder<T> name(String name)

Set the name of the property

Parameters:: name - the name of the property
Returns:: a reference to this builder to enable method chaining

bean

public ReadOnlyJavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder<T> bean(Object bean)

Set the Java Bean instance the adapter should connect to

Parameters:: bean - the Java Bean instance
Returns:: a reference to this builder to enable method chaining

beanClass

public ReadOnlyJavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder<T> beanClass(Class<?> beanClass)

Set the Java Bean class in which the getter should be searched. This can be useful, if the builder should generate adapters for several Java Beans of different types.

Parameters:: beanClass - the Java Bean class
Returns:: a reference to this builder to enable method chaining

getter

public ReadOnlyJavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder<T> getter(String getter)

Set an alternative name for the getter. This can be omitted, if the name of the getter follows Java Bean naming conventions.

Parameters:: getter - the alternative name of the getter
Returns:: a reference to this builder to enable method chaining

getter

public ReadOnlyJavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder<T> getter(Method getter)

Set the getter method directly. This can be omitted, if the name of the getter follows Java Bean naming conventions.

Parameters:: getter - the getter
Returns:: a reference to this builder to enable method chaining
