Desktop Patterns And Data Binding

This was another session by Karsten Lentzsch, founder of JGoodies. JGoodies has a data binding project and right at the start of the session Karsten cautioned those in attendance on its use. He did this not because the project is in a horrible state but because the domain has been difficult to address. There were several talks during this conference that covered the issue of data binding. At this time there are several data binding projects but nothing that will solve all of the problems all of the time. According to Karsten, some projects that try to address data binding are the SwingLabs, Eclipse 3.2, and JClient from Oracle. I have to say that I am not familiar with these projects in this regard so I can’t comment on this further.

During this session, Karsten also went over the Anonymous View, the Model View Presenter, and the Presentation Model pattern.
