Any one know how to bind one swing JComponent to two BeansBinding classes(Specially with Netbeans IDE)? Also how to bind a variable in JFrame to a beanbinding class's property?
A) Hmm ... still not sure what exactly you want to achieve: build a binding chain, maybe? Something like
bean."name" <--> textField."text" --> otherBean.logger
BindingGroup context = new BindingGroup();
context.addBinding(Bindings.createAutoBinding(UpdateStrategy.READ_WRITE,
bean, BeanProperty.create("name"),
field, BeanProperty.create("text")));
context.addBinding(Bindings.createAutoBinding(UpdateStrategy.READ,
field, BeanProperty.create("text"),
otherBean, BeanProperty.create("logger")));
B) Beansbinding is all about binding properties not fields (aka: variables). So whatever you want to bind needs a getter and (maybe a setter, depends on your requirements) and must fire notification on change. Then do the binding just as always ..
public MyFrame extends JFrame {
private int attempts;
public int getAttempts() {
return attempts;
}
private void incrementAttempts() {
int old = getAttempts();
attempts++;
firePropertyChange("attempts", old, getAttempts());
}
private void bind() {
BindingGroup context = new BindingGroup();
context.addBinding(Bindings.createAutoBinding(UpdateStrategy.READ,
this, BeanProperty.create("attempts"),
label, BeanProperty.create("text")));
}
}
