Method Detail

newBinding

Binding newBinding(String description,
                 ComponentResources container,
                 ComponentResources component,
                 String expression,
                 Location location)

Creates a new binding instance. The binding represents a connection between the container and the component (the component is usually the child of the component, though in a few cases, it is the component itself). In most cases, the expression is evaluated in terms of the resources of the container and the component is ignored.

Parameters:

description - of the binding, such as, "parameter foo"

container - the component, as represented by its resources, for which a binding is to be created.

component - the component whose parameter is to be bound by the resulting binding (rarely used)

expression -

location - from which the binding was generate, or null if not known

Returns:

the new binding instance
