Sure... that was a rather vague question (and I think I probably
abused the term 'metaprogramming' horribly).
Anyhoo, my project builds a metamodel from the pojo domain model
(equivalent to a Hibernate .hbm model), and then we use this to
programmatically create widgets on the UI corresponding to the
properties, collections and public operations exposed by the pojo.
I think my question really is: is there to write something like:
for(Field field: pojo.getClass().getFields()) {
JavaFXWidgetThingy widget = new JavaFXWidgetThingy(); //
simplified: would actually want to create a widget of the correct sort
based on the field type
... wire up listeners and bindings on the widget for the field of
the pojo ...
addToForm( widget );
}
The fact that the loop is driven from a metamodel is I suppose
irrelevant to the question.
Am I off base? does this make sense as a question?
Thx!
