Associate UI Components with Data Source


After adding the source data and activating data-binding manager, you have to define required UI objects, and associate them with the data source. Use ZUML annotation expression to tell data-binding manager the relationship between the data source and UI components. Its usage is very straightforward, simply declare the annotation into the component's attribute directly.

<component-name attribute-name="@{bean-name.attribute-name}"/>

  • component-name represents a UI component
  • attribute-name represents an attribute of UI component or the data source
  • bean-name represents a data source

We use Grid as an example, and associate it with the data source, a Person instance. In this example, data-binding manager will automates the synchronization between UI components and the data source automatically.

<?init class="org.zkoss.zkplus.databind.AnnotateDataBinderInit" ?>

<window>
	<zscript><![CDATA[
		//prepare the example person object
		Person person = new Person();
		person.setFirstName("George");
		person.setLastName("Bush");
	]]>
	</zscript>

	<grid width="400px">
		<rows>
			<row> First Name: <textbox value="@{person.firstName}"/></row>
			<row> Last Name: <textbox value="@{person.lastName}"/></row>
			<row> Full Name: <label value="@{person.fullName}"/></row>
		</rows>
	</grid>
</window>
