Vaadin 8: get new value in EditorSaveListener
Related to this stackoverflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42495964/vaadin-8-grid-editorsavelistener
I need to get the updated item when "save" is clicked in a grid editor in Vaadin 8. The answer given in the above question is to write the value to a new bean using Binder#writeBean, however this isn't a satisfactory answer for me, as the bean in question is a persisted entity with an immutable ID (so a new bean won't match the old one). In fact I can't even construct a new instance of the bean in question (non-accessable constructor).
Surely there has to be a better way to get the edited value?
I'm currently getting the private field "edited" from EditorImpl as shown below, but this is obviously less than ideal.
Field editedField = event.getSource().getClass().getDeclaredField("edited");
editedField.setAccessible(true);
MyBean myBean = (MyBean) editedField.get(event.getSource());
