Class JavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder<T>

java.lang.Object

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

public final class JavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder<T>
extends Object

A JavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder can be used to create JavaBeanObjectProperties. To create a JavaBeanObjectProperty 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 JavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder. by switching the Java Bean instance (with bean(java.lang.Object) and calling build().

Method Detail
- create
```
public static JavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder create()
```
  Create a new instance of JavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder
  
  Returns:
  
  the new JavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder
- build
```
public JavaBeanObjectProperty<T> build()
                                throws NoSuchMethodException
```
  Generate a new JavaBeanObjectProperty with the current settings.
  
  Returns:
  
  the new JavaBeanObjectProperty
  
  Throws:
  
  NoSuchMethodException - if the settings were not sufficient to find the getter and the setter of the Java Bean property
- name
```
public JavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder 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 JavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder 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 JavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder beanClass(Class<?> beanClass)
```
  Set 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 JavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder 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
- setter
```
public JavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder setter(String setter)
```
  Set 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 JavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder 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
- setter
```
public JavaBeanObjectPropertyBuilder setter(Method setter)
```
  Set 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
