It's possible to replace all default visualizer with an custom implementation. This is useful if you have special components to visualize specific datatypes e.g a special date picker bean. To do this you have to create and map a Visualizer which has to fulfill following requirements:
Requirements for a Default Visualizer:
- Needs to implement the Visualizer Interface
- Need Constructor with (Type model,Type context) parameters
- Extends the JComponent class
Two ways to add a custom visualizer to visualizer mapping:
- jaxfront.xml:
<property mutable="true"> <key>SimpleTypeDateView</key> <value>com.jaxfront.swing.ui.beans.DateBean</value> </property>
- API: JAXFrontProperties.getInstance().setStringProperty("SimpleTypeDateView","com.jaxfront.s wing.ui.beans.DateBean");
List of default visualizer:
Name | Description |
|---|---|
RecursionWrapper | Visualize a recursion |
PagingView | Visualize a page layout |
ComplexGroupView | Visualize a complex group |
ComplexGroupListView | Visualize a complex group list |
SimpleGroupView | Visualize a simple group |
SimpleGroupListView | Visualize a simple group list |
KeyView | Visualize a key |
KeyRefView | Visualize a referenced key |
SimpleTypeColorView | Visualize a color |
SimpleTypeRadioView | Visualize simple items as radio view |
SimpleTypeComboView | Visualize simple items as a combobox |
SimpleTypeStringView | Visualize a simple string |
SimpleTypeBooleanView | Visualize a boolean value |
SimpleTypeNumericView | Visualize a numeric value |
SimpleTypeDateView | Visualize a date value |
SimpleTypeDateTimeView | Visualize a data time value |
SimpleTypeTimeView | Visualize a time value |
SimpleTypeDurationView | Visualize a duration |
SimpleTypeListView | Visualize a simple list |
Default Visualizer Example:
package com.jaxfront.demo.ui;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;
import com.jaxfront.core.type.Type;
import com.jaxfront.core.ui.Visualizer;
public class OwnDefaultVisualizerImplementation extends JComponent implements com.jaxfront.core.ui.Visualizer {
private Type _context;
private Type _model;
public OwnDefaultVisualizerImplementation(Type model, Type context) {
_model = model;
_context = context;
setSize(100, 100);
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(new JLabel("my own impl"), BorderLayout.WEST);
add(new JTextArea("my own textarea"), BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
public Type getContext() {return _context;}
public Visualizer getImplementation() {return this;}
public String getLabelText() {return null;}
public Type getModel() {return _model;}
public boolean isViewReleased() {return false;}
