Have com.l2fprod.common.propertysheet.PropertySheetPanel To Display Composited Class

Answer 1

PropertySheetPanel as is only populates its table reading the properties for a given Java Bean.

You need to extend PropertySheetPanel behaviour and populate the properties from a given Collection. Iterate your collection and use addProperty(Property) to populate the table.

You can also use instrospection or beanutils lib to discover the collection elements.

EDIT: Example added.

package com.stackoverflow.swing.PropertySheetPanel;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;

import com.l2fprod.common.propertysheet.DefaultProperty;
import com.l2fprod.common.propertysheet.PropertySheetPanel;

/**
 * An example that creates a l2fprod PropertySheetPanel that displays any
 * Collection.
 */
public class CollectionPropertySheet<C> extends PropertySheetPanel {

    // Choose some bean. An animal as example.
    static class Animal {
     private String name;
     private String family;

     public Animal(String name, String family) {
      this.name = name;
      this.family = family;
     }

     @Override public String toString() {
      return name + " " + family;
     }
    }

    /**
     * @param simpleModel The input collection as data model.
     */
    public CollectionPropertySheet(Collection<C> simpleModel) {
     super();
     populateCollectionProperties(simpleModel);
    }

    private void populateCollectionProperties(Collection<C> collection) {
     int index = 0;
     for (C entry : collection) {
      // Define property properties 
      DefaultProperty property = new DefaultProperty();
      property.setDisplayName(entry.getClass().getSimpleName() + "[" + index++ +"]");
      property.setValue(entry.toString());
      // Set any other properties ... 
      // and add.
      addProperty(property);
     }
    }

    // Start me here!
    public static void main(String[] args) {
     // Inside EDT
     SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      @Override public void run() {
       JFrame frame = new JFrame("A simple example...");
       frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
       frame.add(new CollectionPropertySheet<Animal>(getAnimals()));
       frame.pack();
       frame.setVisible(true);
      }

      private Collection<Animal> getAnimals() {
       Collection<Animal> animals = new ArrayList<Animal>();
       animals.add(new Animal("Lion", "Felidae"));
       animals.add(new Animal("Duck", "Anatidae"));
       animals.add(new Animal("Cat", "Felidae"));
       return animals;
      }
     });
    }

}
