Is there any solid documentation for BeanInfo definitions? The SDK document says to refer to the examples, but the examples are pretty sparse on BeanInfo data.
For example, how would I define a boolean property?
Well, one thing to know is that they aren’t our invention. That means you can read some more background info about them elsewhere.
Adding a boolean property would be simple, there are basically two steps for adding any sort of property.
1. Create the getter/setter pair.
To expose a property, you need a getter/setter pair of methods on your component class itself. For a boolean property called [tt]awesomeMode[/tt], the getter/setter should look like this:
[code]public boolean isAwesomeMode() {
return awesomeMode;
}
public void setAwesomeMode(boolean val) {
this.awesomeMode=val;
}[/code]
2. Add the property to the bean info
To add properties in the bean info, override initProperties(). (don’t forget to call super.initProperties).
Then have a line something like this:
addProp("awesomeMode", "Be Awesome?", "If true, the component will be awesome", CAT_BEHAVIOR);
