Class JTableBinding.ColumnBinding

Enclosing class:
JTableBinding<E,SS,TS>

public final class JTableBinding.ColumnBinding extends AbstractColumnBinding
ColumnBinding represents a binding between a property of the elements in the JTableBinding's source List, and a column in the table. Each ColumnBinding added to a JTableBinding represents a column to be displayed by the JTable. A value for any given row in a column is aquired by fetching the value of the associated ColumnBinding's source property for the element in the source List representing that row.

A Converter may be specified on a ColumnBinding, as may be a Validator. Validation occurs at the time a cell value is to be committed back to the source List.

BindingListeners registered on a ColumnBinding are notified of successful sync or syncFailure. These notifications are also sent to the JTableBinding's BindingListeners.

ColumnBindings are managed by their JTableBinding. They are not to be explicitly bound, unbound, added to a BindingGroup, or accessed in a way that is not allowed for a managed binding.
