Take a look at the org.apache.pivot.wtkx.Bindable interface. It won't allow you to do what you describe below, but it does make integrating Java and WTKX much easier. I'm planning to write up a tutorial example on how to use it for 1.4.1, but you can take a look at the test code here to get an idea of how it works:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/tests/src/org/apache/pivot/tests/BindableTest.java http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/tests/src/org/apache/pivot/tests/BindableWindow.java http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/tests/src/org/apache/pivot/tests/BindableWindow.json http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/tests/src/org/apache/pivot/tests/bindable_test.wtkx Basically the idea is that, when initialize() is called, you are guaranteed to have access to all of your bound variables.
