Hello,
I am looking for someone who has done or performed some research regarding using the JavaFX properties for Vaadin data binding (binding vaadin to javafx property instead of methodproperty etc). The reason I am looking for this is because I am developing an application which is has a Vaadin UI as welll as a JavaFX desktop UI.
Since I work with JavaFX for a while now I see some interesting similarities but also a very interesting strong feature of JavaFX properties which is: Business rules.
A JavaFX property can be defined as being ’ age ’ implicitly readonly since it is a calculated value. One can define the rule of age to be dependent on the javafx property ’ today ’ and ’ birthdate '. When either ’ birthdate ’ or ’ today ’ is written de depending property ’ age ’ is notified that there is an update and this works in such a way that the UI is updated immediately as well.
Vaadin has somewhat similar contructs within the property scheme that changes are notified so the UI gets updated as a consequence. But I want the more advanced methodology with the rule scheme as well as the fact that they are a built-in part of java now. That means I will opt for using them in he models I use within my code.
When updating my ‘model’ when I use the Model (passive) View Presenter pattern it allows for automatic value propagation to the UI. This is including changes to a ‘list’ which is being rendered within a table.
I am looking for someone who has done or performed some research regarding using the JavaFX properties for vaadin data binding or example sites or forums that talk about this subject. Basically anything since the google searches I have performed did not result in anything related to what I am looking for.
