var childrenProperty = FXCollections.observableArrayList<GroupFx>()

My backtick key isn't working properly...

children.setAll( rule.children.map{ GroupFx(it)} )

rule?

sorry - typo - I was modifying some of my own code

should be group

your code is fine - I was just showing an alternative for that

well exactly that code gives a stack overflow

my code I mean

@ron You could just create wrapper objects with observable properties for your domain objects perhaps. You don't have that many domain objects, it wouldn't be a huge undertaking, and many pieces of the UI would be easier to handle. It wouldn't take you much time, and you would be completely free from any issues stemming from you not being able to change the domain model.

thats what I am doing now for the Group object as that is the one that is biting me the most at the moment

just need to find where that stackoverflow comes from

@ron Or you could simply add the JAXB annotations to the new domain objects, so you don't need to wrap? That would be even better.

no I dont want to break open openkeepass

You use a Java library that includes those classes?

yes https://github.com/cternes/openkeepass

OK. Can you show me the stack trace?

So something in the constructor of GroupFX seems to be causing a loop. Can you link to your repo again?

?

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

yes but this code is completely new, have not pushed or commited this yet

What is

updateGroup

supposed to do, in plain words?

Group has a list of groups, I want to convert that list into a list of GroupFX

groups.add(GroupFX(it))

Yeah, that's it.

gods yes

You're adding to groups by reusing the same parent.
