After using SceneBuilder through the latter half of my project, I've become convinced that it is THE way to build JavaFX GUIs. However, the one thing that I'm missing is the kind of drag and drop binding of data sources to widgets that you could do in Project Rave. I was wondering if this was in the works?
Specifically, I'd like to be able to register a data source and simply bind it to widget. In my case, most of the existing services are RESTful services that return JSON objects, and it would greatly speed things up, if I could simply point a combobox to a RESTful service responsible for populating the combobox, and then bind the combobox's change listener, to save the user's selection by invoking another RESTful service.
Ideally, you would be able to use different types of service protocols. For example, you might have a combination of RESTful services, XML-HTTP, or bytestream-based services.
Cheers,
Mark
