I have created a bean with one property that popup a JOptionPane when some property is set, showing it's value: it's allways null at design time. When I invoke property dialog ("...") and define some object to be set to my property it calls my method passing null as parameter. How can I customize my object if the customizer depends on the object being passed? I don't want to make my beans visual, and I need the object so I can introspect it and find out its properties to populate my customizer with it's properties.
Thie problem here is that the "Form Connection" property editor just provides code, but does not resolve the property values (e.g. another bean instance). This should be fixed - agree. However, I don't understand the last paragraph - what customizer do you mean?
my last paragraph is confusing, sorry for that. It's a customizer I have created that depends on a property of the bean (an instance). So without an instance been created it cannot do it's job. But if the other bean extends java.awt.Component it gets instantiated, and my customizer can do it's job. But extending a component is not an option. Thank's.
Ok, so we could fix this for 4.1, but it's too late for 4.0 - we could just make a patch for you.
Thank you very much, i'll be checking for the updates on CVS.
Fixed.
