public class FavaBeans

extends Object

Class FavaBeans provides access to global state of the current FavaBeans application.

Note that some or all aspects of this class may be moved elsewhere as we devise better and more flexible ways (perhaps based on BeanContext) for components locate this "contextual" state.

Field Detail

OBJECT_TYPE

public static final Type OBJECT_TYPE

The Type of a Object.

CHANGE_TYPE

public static final Type CHANGE_TYPE

The Type of a Change object.

PROTOTYPE_TYPE

public static final Type PROTOTYPE_TYPE

The Type of a Prototype object.

DND_TARGET_CONTAINER_TYPE

public static final Type DND_TARGET_CONTAINER_TYPE

The Type of a DnDTargetContainer object.

DATA_TRANSFER_TYPE

public static final Type DATA_TRANSFER_TYPE

The Type of a DataTransfer object.

VIEW_PROTOTYPES_TYPE

public static final Type VIEW_PROTOTYPES_TYPE

The Type of a ViewPrototypes object.

PROPERTIES_TYPE

public static final Type PROPERTIES_TYPE

The Type of a Properties object.

ACTIONS_TYPE

public static final Type ACTIONS_TYPE

The Type of a Actions object.

FOLDER_TYPE

public static final Type FOLDER_TYPE

The Type of a Folder object.

FACETS

public static final FacetRegistry FACETS

The default FacetRegistry to be used for finding Facets for objects.

TYPE_METADATA

public static final TypeMetadataRegistry TYPE_METADATA

The metadata used for backing various default Facets implementations.

TOP_LEVEL_VIEW_BUILDER

public static TopLevelViewBuilder TOP_LEVEL_VIEW_BUILDER

The top-level view builder for the application (which is a hook into the "window manager"). Note: This kludge is a miserable excuse for a design of a window manager; we need to design a real one. At this level, the API will change little, but the underlying implementation should be more general and richer.
