Method Detail

getContextForDescendant

public InstanceNode getContextForDescendant()

an descendant asks for its context

notifyParentBindingChanged

public void notifyParentBindingChanged(DynBoundElementImpl ancestor)

notify that I should re-initialize my context node

getModel

public ModelElementImpl getModel()

get this elements model (look for parents if model attribute not found)

getBindingState

public short getBindingState()

renewBinding

public void renewBinding()

renew my bindings

resetContextNode
