# Class JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder

java.lang.Object
javafx.beans.property.adapter.JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder

    public final class JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder
    extends Object

A `JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder` can be used to create `JavaBeanLongProperties`. To create a `JavaBeanLongProperty` one first has to call `create()` to generate a builder, set the required properties, and then one can call `build()` to generate the property.

Not all properties of a builder have to specified, there are several combinations possible. As a minimum the `name(java.lang.String)` of the property and the `bean(java.lang.Object)` have to be specified. If the names of the getter and setter follow the conventions, this is sufficient. Otherwise it is possible to specify an alternative name for the getter and setter (`getter(java.lang.String)` and `setter(java.lang.String)`) or the getter and setter `Methods` directly (`getter(java.lang.reflect.Method)` and `setter(java.lang.reflect.Method)`).

All methods to change properties return a reference to this builder, to enable method chaining.

If you have to generate adapters for the same property of several instances of the same class, you can reuse a `JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder` by switching the Java Bean instance (with `bean(java.lang.Object)` and calling `build()`.

  - ### JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder

    @Deprecated(since="14", forRemoval=true) public JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder()
    Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
    This constructor was exposed erroneously and will be removed in the next version. Use `create()` instead.

- ## Method Details

  - ### create

    public static JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder create()
    Creates a new instance of `JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder`.
    Returns:
      the new `JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder`

  - ### build

    public JavaBeanLongProperty build() throws NoSuchMethodException
    Generates a new `JavaBeanLongProperty` with the current settings.
    Returns:
      the new `JavaBeanLongProperty`
    Throws:
      `NoSuchMethodException` - if the settings were not sufficient to find the getter and the setter of the Java Bean property
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if the Java Bean property is not of type `long` or `Long`

  - ### name

    public JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder name​(String name)
    Sets the name of the property.
    Parameters:
      `name` - the name of the property
    Returns:
      a reference to this builder to enable method chaining

  - ### bean

    public JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder bean​(Object bean)
    Sets the Java Bean instance the adapter should connect to.
    Parameters:
      `bean` - the Java Bean instance
    Returns:
      a reference to this builder to enable method chaining

  - ### beanClass

    public JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder beanClass​(Class<?> beanClass)
    Sets the Java Bean class in which the getter and setter should be searched. This can be useful if the builder should generate adapters for several Java Beans of different types.
    Parameters:
      `beanClass` - the Java Bean class
    Returns:
      a reference to this builder to enable method chaining

  - ### getter

    public JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder getter​(String getter)
    Sets an alternative name for the getter. This can be omitted if the name of the getter follows Java Bean naming conventions.
    Parameters:
      `getter` - the alternative name of the getter
    Returns:
      a reference to this builder to enable method chaining

  - ### setter

    public JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder setter​(String setter)
    Sets an alternative name for the setter. This can be omitted if the name of the setter follows Java Bean naming conventions.
    Parameters:
      `setter` - the alternative name of the setter
    Returns:
      a reference to this builder to enable method chaining

  - ### getter

    public JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder getter​(Method getter)
    Sets the getter method directly. This can be omitted if the name of the getter follows Java Bean naming conventions.
    Parameters:
      `getter` - the getter
    Returns:
      a reference to this builder to enable method chaining

  - ### setter

    public JavaBeanLongPropertyBuilder setter​(Method setter)
    Sets the setter method directly. This can be omitted if the name of the setter follows Java Bean naming conventions.
    Parameters:
      `setter` - the setter
    Returns:
      a reference to this builder to enable method chaining
