Re: PropertyModels *without* strings
the pro's of this compared to the SafeProperty is that the safe property needs to generate proxies at runtime so you need CGLIB and you could have issues with final classes this is more a develop environment solution which is because of that a bit nicer.

Re: PropertyModels *without* strings
Refactoring could definitely be supported in IDEA. With the Hibernate support, when you change a property name it will change your mapping hbm.xml (yes, we still use them) files for you automatically. Same thing happens with the Spring support. The configuration files are changed for you. I don't know how eclipse works with this kind of stuff, but IDEA definitely has hooks for this kind of stuff.

Re: PropertyModels *without* strings
The proxy-based approach runs into problems when the return types of the getters are final or non-proxyable in some way (at least for nested properties). We discussed this idea of recording the property expression (and I even wrote some code in Commons Proxy for it). I even proposed an entirely new project (called Commons Expression by me but others didn't like the name).

Re: PropertyModels *without* strings
the whole point is that strings brake, whether they are constants or not. eg add(new Label(parentName, new PropertyModel(person, parent.name))); suppose you rename Person.getName() to Person.getFullName(). now you have to find all places in your code where you have referenced name as part of a string property expression and change it to fullName. if you miss somewhere you wont know until runtime. in my projects a lot of objects have a name field, so the process of identifying all the places that need to be updated involves sifting through a bunch of strings and figuring out if what is before the .name is of type Person. tedious and error-prone. although bindgen does not support refactoring, as soon as the change is made all the places that need to be updated will be reported by the compiler. that is an *enormous* improvement in non-trivial applications. another big advantage is that bindings carry type information, eg: add(new TextFieldInteger(age, new PropertyModel(person, age))); there is no way to verify that age expression is of type Integer and not a value object or a string, but bindgen bindings are typesafe and a non-Integer binding would cause a compilation error. i am actually somewhat shocked that someone can look at this and not see the value. this fills in a huge gap in java until methods and fields become first-class citizens. but, maybe im just weird. -igor On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 11:28 PM, Martin Makundi martin.maku...@koodaripalvelut.com wrote: If refactoring is not supported it is just easier to use string constants, which do not break. ** Martin 2009/11/26 Gerolf Seitz gerolf.se...@gmail.com: as far as i have read, the binding methods aren't automatically refactored (eg. renamed), but you get compiler errors in the code where you use the old names. so it should be fairly easy to fix your own code (in contrast to some strings) On Thu, Nov 26, 2009 at 8:04 AM, Giambalvo, Christian christian.giamba...@excelsisnet.com wrote: Is refactoring available for bindgen? -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Igor Vaynberg [mailto:igor.vaynb...@gmail.com] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 25.

Re: PropertyModels *without* strings
suppose you rename Person.getName() to Person.getFullName(). now you have to find all places in your code where you have referenced name as part of a string property expression and change it to fullName. If you have a constant PERSON.NAME all you need to do is refactor the constant and change the constant value. Instead of going through hundreds of broken lines of code, which is a mess even just in principle. I would say that refactoring calls for improvement in the bindgen approach. Is it theoretically possible to facilitate refactoring with bindgen? Is it practically possible to facilitate refactoring with bindgen? add(new TextFieldInteger(age, new PropertyModel(person, age))); there is no way to verify that age expression is of type Integer and not a value object or a string, but bindgen bindings are typesafe and a non-Integer binding would cause a compilation error. This is a great big plus. i am actually somewhat shocked that someone can look at this and not see the value. this fills in a huge gap in java until methods and fields become first-class citizens. but, maybe im just weird. I'm just saying that it should be made even better. ** Martin On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 11:28 PM, Martin Makundi martin.maku...@koodaripalvelut.com wrote: If refactoring is not supported it is just easier to use string constants, which do not break. ** Martin 2009/11/26 Gerolf Seitz gerolf.se...@gmail.com: as far as i have read, the binding methods aren't automatically refactored (eg. renamed), but you get compiler errors in the code where you use the old names. so it should be fairly easy to fix your own code (in contrast to some strings) On Thu, Nov 26, 2009 at 8:04 AM, Giambalvo, Christian christian.giamba...@excelsisnet.com wrote: Is refactoring available for bindgen? -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Igor Vaynberg [mailto:igor.vaynb...@gmail.com] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 25.
