Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

Currently, what I want to do is use bidirectionnal binding between POJO properties and JavaFX components.

For example, if the property is a String, a Textfield will be generated and binded with it.

My POJOs are generated by JAXB.

To do that, I proceeded as followed :

• In order to make the binding works I changed the default generation of JAXB
• I created a factory which takes a class instance at input and return a Map containing the POJO properties as key and the JavaFX components as value
• I displayed this map in a JFXPanel

Here is a sample of the factory  :

public static Map<Field, Node> createComponents(Object obj) throws NoSuchMethodException
   {
           Map<Field, Node> map = new LinkedHashMap<Field, Node>();

           for (final Field field : obj.getClass().getDeclaredFields())
           {
               @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
               Class fieldType = field.getType();

               if (fieldType.equals(boolean.class) || (fieldType.equals(Boolean.class))) //Boolean
               {
                   map.put(field, createBool(obj, field));
               }
               else if (fieldType.equals(int.class) || (fieldType.equals(Integer.class))) //Integer
               {
                  map.put(field, createInt(obj, field));
               }
               else if (fieldType.equals(BigInteger.class)) //BigInteger
               {
                  map.put(field, createBigInt(obj, field));
               }
               else if (fieldType.equals(long.class) || fieldType.equals(Long.class)) //Long
               {
                  map.put(field, createLong(obj, field));
               }
               else if (fieldType.equals(String.class)) //String
               {
                  map.put(field, createString(obj, field));

               }
           }
           return map;   
   }

public static Node createBool(Object obj, final Field field) throws NoSuchMethodException
{

   System.out.println(field.getType().getSimpleName() + " spotted");
   JavaBeanBooleanProperty boolProperty = JavaBeanBooleanPropertyBuilder.create().bean(obj).name(field.getName()).build();
  boolProperty.addListener(new ChangeListener<Boolean>() {
   @Override
   public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Boolean> arg0, Boolean arg1, Boolean arg2)
   {
  prettyPrinter(field, arg1, arg2);
   }
   });
   CheckBox cb = new CheckBox();
  cb.setText(" : " + field.getName());
  cb.selectedProperty().bindBidirectional(boolProperty);
   return cb;}

So, the problem I have is : Sometimes the binding will work and sometimes it won't. For example, the binding is working unless I changed the declaration property order in the POJO, or unless I resized the panel where components are displayed.

Does anybody have an idea of what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks,
