From JAXXWiki

The <Application> tag is a special class tag which creates an instance of jaxx.runtime.swing.Application, a subclass of javax.swing.JFrame. The package name is assumed only because jaxx.runtime.swing is imported by default. The fully qualified form of this tag is <jaxx.runtime.swing.Application>.

This information is based on the Java Development Kit version 5.0. Other versions of Java may have more or fewer features.

Usage

The Application tag is an invisible component. The tag can be included inside of a container, but the Application will not actually become a child of the container.

<Application> extends <JFrame>, and is typically the top-level window in JAXX applications.

Special Behaviors

Special behaviors specific to Application

JAXX files with <Application> as their root component (in other words, JAXX classes that subclass Application) automatically receive a main() method which creates and displays the Application window.

Special behaviors inherited from JFrame

• Frames which do not have a width or height attribute defined will automatically be pack()ed upon display.
• The default value of defaultCloseOperation is dispose_on_close instead of hide_on_close

Child tags

To assign a JMenuBar to a Application, include a <JMenuBar> tag as a child tag.

Attributes

These attributes may appear on the <Application> tag. As XML is a text file format, all attribute values must be represented as strings — either strings which can be converted into the destination type (e.g. height="1234" for the int-typed attribute height) or strings of Java code in curly braces (e.g. border="{BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder()}" for the Border-typed attribute border). See Data types for more information.

Events

You can listen to events by assigning Java code to an event handler, such as onActionPerformed='dispose()'. The Java code will be invoked when the event is fired. See event handlers for more details.

Bound methods

A bound method is a method whose value can be tracked by listening to events. For instance, changes to the return value of Component.getWidth() are always accompanied by componentResized events.

Bound methods are significant because they allow the data binding system to detect when they have changed. If you call a bound method within a data binding expression, JAXX will add an event listener in order to detect changes to the method's value. Methods which are not listed below cannot be tracked by JAXX's data binding.
