JavaFX Code
Recipes
“As everybody knows, there is only one infallible
recipe for the perfect omelette: your own.”
—Elizabeth David
J avaFX code recipes are simple pieces of code that show how to tackle a
unique coding problem. There are probably a million such recipes, we have chosen
a few to detail in this chapter that are somewhat unique to the JavaFX environ-
ment.
The first section, JavaFX and JavaBeans, shows a way to bridge the JavaFX and
JavaBeans frameworks. Next, the section on Server Call Back details how to deal
with asynchronous call backs from a server. The Node Effects—Fader and Mag-
nifier section demonstrates how to use generic classes for two common effects.
Wizard shows how to implement the Wizard pattern for breaking a complex pro-

common components. Finally, Matrix details how to implement a two-dimen-
