Method Detail

setContextList

void setContextList(ObservableList contexts)

Sets the observable list of contexts for which this manager is responsible.

getContextList

ObservableList getContextList()

Returns the observable list of contexts for which this manager is responsible.

setViewFactories

void setViewFactories(ClassRegistry factories)

Sets a mapping of context classes to view factories. This is is used by the manager to create new views.

getViewFactories

ClassRegistry getViewFactories()

Returns the mapping of context classes to view factories. This is is used by the manager to create new views.

createInitialViews

void createInitialViews()

Creates the initial views from the current list and factories. This initializes that manager and causes it to start serving up views as new contexts are added.
