ISO Currency Codes ~ ATMPEDIA.COM. JavaFX and MVP – a smörgåsbord of design patterns « Zen Java. Things are getting pretty exciting in the land of JavaFX.
The platform seems to be gaining traction and we’re starting to see a real community build up around the forums and the open source channels. As a result we’re also seeing more developers moving beyond the ‘hello world’, and ‘colourful circles’ stage and setting their sights on real application development. With that comes a need for design patterns and best practices and these are currently lacking, or at least lacking in documentation. JavaFX 2.0 + NetBeans + Maven. JavaFX 2.0, FXML and Spring « Zen Java. Richard Bair recently posted the results of his experiments with FXML Dependency Injection using Guice.
I’m a big fan of Guice but Spring is the most popular application development framework for enterprise Java (that’s what their website says anyway), mainly because it offers much more than just a DI framework, with support for databases, transactions, remoting, security and much more. As such, I’m intending for this post to be the first in a series, called Building JEE applications in JavaFX 2.0, where I’m going to explore various options for doing just that. This is new territory for everyone, so I welcome all feedback and comments that can help us refine the ‘best practices’ in this ares. In this first post I’m just going to do a direct port of Richard’s FXML+Guice example into Spring.
