I guess I'm not the only one trying to make JavaFx application with Spring Boot.
I ended up with the best summary I could find to date (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28804012/javafx-fxml-how-to-use-spring-di-with-nested-custom-controls)
I will only put it here so I can find it again quickly :)
@SpringBootApplication
public class FxBootApplication extends Application {
private static String[] args;
public static void main(String[] args) {
FxBootApplication.args = args;
launch(args);
}
@Override
public void start(final Stage primaryStage) {
// Bootstrap Spring context here.
ApplicationContext context = SpringApplication.run(FxBootApplication.class, args);
// Create a Scene
MainPaneController mainPaneController = context.getBean(MainPaneController.class);
Scene scene = new Scene((Parent) mainPaneController.getRoot());
// Set the scene on the primary stage
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
// Any other shenanigans on the primary stage...
primaryStage.show();
}
}
@Configuration
public class ApplicationConfiguration {
@Bean
public MainPaneController mainPaneController() throws IOException {
return loadController(MainPaneController.VIEW);
}
private T loadController(String url) throws IOException {
try (InputStream fxmlStream = getClass().getResourceAsStream(url)) {
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
loader.load(fxmlStream);
return loader.getController();
}
}
}
public class MainPaneController {
public static final String VIEW = "/MainPanel.fxml";
@FXML
private Node root;
@PostConstruct
public void init() {}
public Node getRoot() {
return root;
}
}
