public class UIBeanDef

extends IntrospectionBeanDef

UIX bean definition for introspection-based beans that support UIX Components objects. In particular, when used in conjunction with the UIBeanParser, this adds the following pieces of functionality:

1. Support for data-binding via BoundValues.

   Specifically, if any of the properties end with "Binding" and take a BoundValue, then the property will be interpreted as databinding support.

2. Support for treating DataObjects, DataObjectLists, and Style objects as "inline" attributest that do not require an envelope; this makes these elements consistent with the rest of UIX.
3. Use of the <boundAttribute> element to define data-binding.

Example:

Given the following API:

     public void setWidth(int width);
     public int getWidth();
     public void setWidthBinding(BoundValue value);
 

...then the XML "width" attribute will be interpreted as supporting data binding, and each piece of the following XML will be accepted:

    <theElementName width="10"/>
    <theElementName data:width="foo@data"/>
    <theElementName>
      <boundAttribute name="width">
        <!-- a bound value element  -->
      </boundAttribute>
    </theElementName>

Overrides:

getElementPropertyDef in class IntrospectionBeanDef

Following copied from class: oracle.cabo.share.xml.beans.BeanDef

Parameters:

namespace - the namespace

name - the property name

attrs - the XML attributes

Returns:

the property definition, or null if no such property exists

isInlineChildProperty

public boolean isInlineChildProperty(java.lang.String namespace,
                                     java.lang.String name,
                                     PropertyDef def)

Description copied from class: BeanDef

Returns true if the PropertyDef is defined with an inline child element.

Overrides:

isInlineChildProperty in class IntrospectionBeanDef

getPropertyDef

public PropertyDef getPropertyDef(java.lang.String name)

Description copied from class: BeanDef

Gets an property definition.

Overrides:

getPropertyDef in class IntrospectionBeanDef

Following copied from class: oracle.cabo.share.xml.beans.BeanDef

Parameters:

name - the property name
