Class JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder

java.lang.Object

javafx.beans.property.adapter.JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder

public final class JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder
extends Object

A JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder can be used to create JavaBeanLongProperties. To create a JavaBeanLongProperty 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 names of the getter and setter follow the conventions, this is sufficient. Otherwise it is possible to specify an alternative name for the getter and setter (getter(java.lang.String) and setter(java.lang.String)) or the getter and setter Methods directly (getter(java.lang.reflect.Method) and setter(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 JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder by switching the Java Bean instance (with bean(java.lang.Object) and calling build().

Since:

JavaFX 2.1

Method Details

create

public static JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder create()

Creates a new instance of JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder.

Returns:

the new JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder

build

public JavaBeanLongProperty build()
                           throws NoSuchMethodException

Generates a new JavaBeanLongProperty with the current settings.

Returns:

the new JavaBeanLongProperty

Throws:

NoSuchMethodException - if the settings were not sufficient to find the getter and the setter of the Java Bean property

IllegalArgumentException - if the Java Bean property is not of type long or Long

name

public JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder name(String name)

Sets the name of the property.

Parameters:

name - the name of the property

Returns:

a reference to this builder to enable method chaining

bean

public JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder bean(Object bean)

Sets 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 JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder beanClass(Class<?> beanClass)

Sets the Java Bean class in which the getter and setter 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 JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder getter(String getter)

Sets 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

setter

public JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder setter(String setter)

Sets an alternative name for the setter. This can be omitted if the name of the setter follows Java Bean naming conventions.

Parameters:

setter - the alternative name of the setter

Returns:

a reference to this builder to enable method chaining

getter

public JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder getter(Method getter)

Sets 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

setter

public JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder setter(Method setter)

Sets the setter method directly. This can be omitted if the name of the setter follows Java Bean naming conventions.

Parameters:

setter - the setter

Returns:

a reference to this builder to enable method chaining
