Hi Chris. About 2 years ago I developed a desktop java app, using Swing and Cayenne. I was using Eclipse becuase there is a free plug-in called * WindowBuilderPro*, that allows you to visually create your Swing views. Anyway this tool also had some kind of Data-Binding support; however, I did not use that....I simply had code that would do like....
On view show.... someEditBox.setText(myCayennePoJo.getLastName()) and, on "save" myCayennePoJo.setLastName(someEditBox.getText()) At this point, if I were to develop something like that again, I would develop the screens & POJOs so the UI control names & POJO prop names are the same and then have some *reflection* type code to do the heavy moving.
