Class ReadOnlyJavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder

java.lang.Object
javafx.beans.property.adapter.ReadOnlyJavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder

public final class ReadOnlyJavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder
extends Object
A ReadOnlyJavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder can be used to create ReadOnlyJavaBeanLongProperties. To create a ReadOnlyJavaBeanLongProperty 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 name of the getter follows the conventions, this is sufficient. Otherwise it is possible to specify an alternative name for the getter (getter(java.lang.String)) or the getter Methods directly (getter(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 ReadOnlyJavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder. by switching the Java Bean instance (with bean(java.lang.Object) and calling build().

    • create

      public static ReadOnlyJavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder create()
      Create a new instance of ReadOnlyJavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder
      Returns:
      the new ReadOnlyJavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder
    • build

      Generate a new ReadOnlyJavaBeanLongProperty with the current settings.
      Returns:
      the new ReadOnlyJavaBeanLongProperty
      Throws:
      NoSuchMethodException - if the settings were not sufficient to find the getter of the Java Bean property
      IllegalArgumentException - if the Java Bean property is not of type long or Long
    • 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

      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 ReadOnlyJavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder beanClass​(Class<?> beanClass)
      Set the Java Bean class in which the getter 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 ReadOnlyJavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder 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
    • getter

      public ReadOnlyJavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder 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
