support for JSR 295

[Harald.Fischer]

Hi,

does anybody know of JIDE planning to adopt JSR 295 (beans binding) for their various tables - assuming they don't support it yet (and hence this assumption led me to _this_ board)?

Or do they support this JSR yet and we guys did something wrong? (We're using NetBeans 6.9.1 and did not succeed in binding SortableTable or even JideTable in NetBean's GUI Builder. When we populated the bound model, nothing showed up in the tables . Whereas a normal JTable is doing just fine.)

Thanks for ANY statement or hint which resource or document would be worth to check.

Just tested in Netbeans 6.8 and could not observe any issue. May I ask which JIDE release you are using?

Thanks,

[Harald.Fischer]

Sorry, should have stated this in my first post: We're using release 2.10.2.

Thanks
Harald

[JIDE Support]

Can you please elaborate a little bit about the issues you observed regarding JideTable? A screencast if possible would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

[Harald.Fischer]

Hi,

back again - sorry for the delay! And - sorry again - I have to avow that I was inaccurate in stating JideTable does not bind properly. Actually it does! As you (JIDE people) supposed: Only SortableTable is affected by this issue.

Now that we've examined all this more carefully, things turned out to be as follows:
- Both JideTable and SortableTable bind properly to our model;
- JideTable binds properly to selectedItem, but SortableTable throws a ClassCastException when bound to selectedItem and a table cell is selected (by mouse click, e.g.);
- nothing changes with JIDE release 3.0.2 and / or "BetterBeansBinding" 1.3.0.

Is there any chance to get this fixed in near future??

Although I'm feeling more and more uncomfortable that I have chosen this forum (but don't know how to switch to another …), for the sake of completeness let me append the CCE:

Thanks for your update. No worry about the forum.

Can you please share with us the sample code regarding how you bind the selected item with SortableTable? Since getCellClassAt() returns different class type for different columns, just wonder if there is a possibility of mis-binding.

Thanks,

[Harald.Fischer]

Please let me know, if this is not what you expected us to fill in here. I would have attached source files, if it were possible. Should I hand'em over to you by mail??

Sorry for the late response. Embarrassingly, although I could get your source code run, I cannot see any visible row even if I change the table to JTable, which blocks me to next step for selected item. Not sure what I did wrong. Attached is the modified test case FYI. Tried to run it in both Netbeans and IntelliJ and got the same empty frame.

Hi,

after a lot of trial and error we finally came to the conclusion, that one has to separate the code into three different class files - the GUI class (NewJFrame in our original cast), the model class (NewModel) and the model element class (NewPoJo). Don't know where this comes from - maybe some reflection caveats??

I reckon literally using following three java files in default package (plus one NetBeans form file added for convenience) should work (i.e. the panel should present a table with three columns, and selecting rows should trigger the model to print out some debug messages). Replacing JideTable in NewJFrame by SortableTable should evoke a ClassCastException when selecting rows.

Thanks. It is where the issue is. However, I'm so sorry to say that SortableTable might not be able to work with the binding if Netbeans doesn't change their package a little bit.

Sortable has to install a SortableTableModel over the original table model to realize sorting function. However, this action will break JTableAdapterProvider#getElement(JTable, int) because table.getModel() is no longer an instance of NewPoJo. It then returns a hashmap which later throws ClassCastException. I tried to figure out a work around for you however failed. The JTableBinding class is final and its constructor is protected which makes me not possible to create a instance by ourselves to change some logic further.

I also tried to create a pure new ISortableTableModel and let it extending ListBindingManager. This approach also failed because the method ListBindingManager#getElement(int) is again final and the elements field is private. That fact blocks my way to delegate my new created ListBindingManager to their existing BindingTableModel.

You may have to submit the bug report to Netbeans as well to see how they can loose their package a little bit. I guess the easiest solution for them is to introduce an interface like BindingWrapper, which takes "ObjectgetElement(int)" as its method. In this way, we are able to let JIDE SortableTableModel implements that interface and delegate the invocation to the underlying BindingTableModel.

Hi,

thank you for this detailled analysis! And yes, we will forward this to the beansbinding (or actually: BetterBeansBinding) project group. Maybe they will do a little bit refinement in the sense you proposed.

Thank you again for your time and effort!
