Got it! Since I'm not within a component, I can make the call like this: (loginScreen).replaceWith(workbench::class)

I'm definitely on my way now! I do have a question about reloadViews/StylesheetOnFocus behavior: I set both functions in my App init, and the console in debugger says that the page reloads on focus: however, the components or the styles don't actually change. Of course, when I rerun they do, but that's not the intention, correct?

Thoughts on pagination with Datagrid: while Pagination is an extended function of datagrid, I can't actually apply pagination to cellCaches, since pagination is meant for Units and CellCaches take units and return as a Node. Looking for a workaround.

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez If they don't reload that usually means that you're either not running in debug mode, or that you didn't recompile those classes. If they reload, you should see a message in the console stating that the classes were reloaded.

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez DataGrid doesn't have a concept of pagination per se, but you could quite easily create a pagination control that controls what items should be visible, and make sure the items property for datagrid is bound to that list. Alternatively, use the pagination control in JavaFX and add a DataGrid to each page (not a good solution).

@carlw Exactly what I was thinking of 🙂 Great post!

great because of the elegance of the pagination builder or the screenshot?

Been fighting with my new CNC machine all day. Getting brutal amounts of chatter, think something is broken 😢 So much time I could have played with TornadoFX 🙂

@carlw It must be the killer combo!

funny...i replaced the bearings roller on my wife's treadmill last night...i wonder if you have a the same thing in the CNC

if you're checking, look for the slightest rattle

I'm sick of that machine now, will try tomorrow. If I can't get it to work, I will do a ceremonial burning of it and then order a Tormach.

was that the link i sent you?

What do you mean?

i sent you a link off of /r/mk from someone who had a cnc

Ah, now I'm following 🙂 Yes, Tormach PCNC 1100. If I just got that I would have saved myself weeks of agony with the two other machines. Grr..

@edvin Have you used -at-Asynchronous on EJBs before?

seems to work well...pulled out some java.lang.Thread stuff

@carlw Yes, I use it here and there. It works well for me.

the tornadofx jms client I built is coming in handy. i can't get the http upgrade to work with hermes, so i think i can make it into a generic testing tool

Nice! Is it operational now? Would love to see some screenshots or screencasts 🙂

it's pretty hacked up now...lots of hardcoded classpaths and stuff. but i don't see a lot of jms testing tools out there. especially none tuned for wildfly

i was able to get hermes to work with 3 different artemis installs (1.1, 1.5, and 2.3) but couldn't get it to work with wf10 or wf11's embedded artemis

OK. Keep us posted!

Shutdown hooks are not for long running tasks or user tasks. I am using it for graceful shutdown of internal components like - saving app config, closing spring context, terminating daemon thread pool, closing plugin manager etc. But it totally depends upon use case. If we want to complete a user task before shutdown then of course we should display progress and make it cancellable.

1000 stars!

We'd need a component that wraps a list and presents buttons just like the pagination control of JavaFX, then makes sure the sublist contains the items for that page.

This approach let's you use only one instance of DataGrid, and you can keep caching etc intact if needed.

I created a

DataGridPaginator

component to help us with this.
