All Implemented Interfaces:
  `NumberExpression`, `Observable`, `JavaBeanProperty<Number>`, `ReadOnlyJavaBeanProperty<Number>`, `Property<Number>`, `ReadOnlyProperty<Number>`, `ObservableLongValue`, `ObservableNumberValue`, `ObservableValue<Number>`, `WritableLongValue`, `WritableNumberValue`, `WritableValue<Number>`

    public final class JavaBeanLongProperty
    extends LongProperty
    implements JavaBeanProperty<Number>

A `JavaBeanLongProperty` provides an adapter between a regular Java Bean property of type `long` or `Long` and a JavaFX `LongProperty`. It cannot be created directly, but a `JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder` has to be used.

As a minimum, the Java Bean class must implement a getter and a setter for the property. The class, as well as the getter and a setter methods, must be declared public. If the getter of an instance of this class is called, the property of the Java Bean is returned. If the setter is called, the value will be passed to the Java Bean property. If the Java Bean property is bound (i.e. it supports PropertyChangeListeners), this `JavaBeanLongProperty` will be aware of changes in the Java Bean. Otherwise it can be notified about changes by calling `fireValueChangedEvent()`. If the Java Bean property is also constrained (i.e. it supports VetoableChangeListeners), this `JavaBeanLongProperty` will reject changes, if it is bound to an `ObservableValue<Long>`.

Deploying an Application as a Module

If the Java Bean class is in a named module, then it must be reflectively accessible to the `javafx.base` module. A class is reflectively accessible if the module `opens` the containing package to at least the `javafx.base` module.

For example, if `com.foo.MyBeanClass` is in the `foo.app` module, the `module-info.java` might look like this:

    module foo.app {
        opens com.foo to javafx.base;
    }

Alternatively, a class is reflectively accessible if the module `exports` the containing package unconditionally.

  JavaFX 2.1

- ## Method Details

  - ### get

    public long get()
    Get the wrapped value. Unlike `WritableValue.getValue()`, this method returns primitive long. Needs to be identical to `WritableValue.getValue()`.
    Specified by:
      `get` in interface `ObservableLongValue`
    Specified by:
      `get` in interface `WritableLongValue`
    Returns:
      The current value
    Throws:
      `UndeclaredThrowableException` - if calling the getter of the Java Bean property throws an `IllegalAccessException` or an `InvocationTargetException`.

  - ### set

    public void set​(long value)
    Set the wrapped value. Unlike `WritableLongValue.setValue(java.lang.Number)`, this method uses primitive long.
    Specified by:
      `set` in interface `WritableLongValue`
    Parameters:
      `value` - The new value
    Throws:
      `UndeclaredThrowableException` - if calling the getter of the Java Bean property throws an `IllegalAccessException` or an `InvocationTargetException`.

  - ### bind

    public void bind​(ObservableValue<? extends Number> observable)
    Create a unidirection binding for this `Property`.

    Note that JavaFX has all the bind calls implemented through weak listeners. This means the bound property can be garbage collected and stopped from being updated.

    Specified by:
      `bind` in interface `Property<Number>`
    Parameters:
      `observable` - The observable this `Property` should be bound to.

  - ### unbind

    public void unbind()
    Remove the unidirectional binding for this `Property`. If the `Property` is not bound, calling this method has no effect.
    Specified by:
      `unbind` in interface `Property<Number>`
    See Also:
      `Property.bind(javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue)`

  - ### isBound

    public boolean isBound()
    Can be used to check, if a `Property` is bound.
    Specified by:
      `isBound` in interface `Property<Number>`
    Returns:
      `true` if the `Property` is bound, `false` otherwise
    See Also:
      `Property.bind(javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue)`

  - ### getBean

    public Object getBean()
    Returns the `Object` that contains this property. If this property is not contained in an `Object`, `null` is returned.
    Specified by:
      `getBean` in interface `ReadOnlyProperty<Number>`
    Returns:
      the containing `Object` or `null`

  - ### getName

    public String getName()
    Returns the name of this property. If the property does not have a name, this method returns an empty `String`.
    Specified by:
      `getName` in interface `ReadOnlyProperty<Number>`
    Returns:
      the name or an empty `String`

  - ### addListener

    public void addListener​(ChangeListener<? super Number> listener)
    Adds a `ChangeListener` which will be notified whenever the value of the `ObservableValue` changes. If the same listener is added more than once, then it will be notified more than once. That is, no check is made to ensure uniqueness.

    Note that the same actual `ChangeListener` instance may be safely registered for different `ObservableValues`.

    The `ObservableValue` stores a strong reference to the listener which will prevent the listener from being garbage collected and may result in a memory leak. It is recommended to either unregister a listener by calling `removeListener` after use or to use an instance of `WeakChangeListener` avoid this situation.

    Specified by:
      `addListener` in interface `ObservableValue<Number>`
    Parameters:
      `listener` - The listener to register
    See Also:
      `ObservableValue.removeListener(ChangeListener)`

  - ### removeListener

    public void removeListener​(ChangeListener<? super Number> listener)
    Removes the given listener from the list of listeners that are notified whenever the value of the `ObservableValue` changes.

    If the given listener has not been previously registered (i.e. it was never added) then this method call is a no-op. If it had been previously added then it will be removed. If it had been added more than once, then only the first occurrence will be removed.

    Specified by:
      `removeListener` in interface `ObservableValue<Number>`
    Parameters:
      `listener` - The listener to remove
    See Also:
      `ObservableValue.addListener(ChangeListener)`

  - ### addListener

    public void addListener​(InvalidationListener listener)
    Adds an `InvalidationListener` which will be notified whenever the `Observable` becomes invalid. If the same listener is added more than once, then it will be notified more than once. That is, no check is made to ensure uniqueness.

    Note that the same actual `InvalidationListener` instance may be safely registered for different `Observables`.

    The `Observable` stores a strong reference to the listener which will prevent the listener from being garbage collected and may result in a memory leak. It is recommended to either unregister a listener by calling `removeListener` after use or to use an instance of `WeakInvalidationListener` avoid this situation.

    Specified by:
      `addListener` in interface `Observable`
    Parameters:
      `listener` - The listener to register
    See Also:
      `Observable.removeListener(InvalidationListener)`

  - ### removeListener

    public void removeListener​(InvalidationListener listener)
    Removes the given listener from the list of listeners, that are notified whenever the value of the `Observable` becomes invalid.

    If the given listener has not been previously registered (i.e. it was never added) then this method call is a no-op. If it had been previously added then it will be removed. If it had been added more than once, then only the first occurrence will be removed.

    Specified by:
      `removeListener` in interface `Observable`
    Parameters:
      `listener` - The listener to remove
    See Also:
      `Observable.addListener(InvalidationListener)`

  - ### fireValueChangedEvent

    public void fireValueChangedEvent()
    This method can be called to notify the adapter of a change of the Java Bean value, if the Java Bean property is not bound (i.e. it does not support PropertyChangeListeners).
    Specified by:
      `fireValueChangedEvent` in interface `ReadOnlyJavaBeanProperty<Number>`

  - ### dispose

    public void dispose()
    Signals to the JavaFX property that it will not be used anymore and any references can be removed. A call of this method usually results in the property stopping to observe the Java Bean property by unregistering its listener(s).
    Specified by:
      `dispose` in interface `ReadOnlyJavaBeanProperty<Number>`

  - ### toString

    public String toString()
    Returns a string representation of this `JavaBeanLongProperty` object.
    Overrides:
      `toString` in class `LongProperty`
    Returns:
      a string representation of this `JavaBeanLongProperty` object.
