Abstract

Modern GUI toolkits propose the use of declarative data bindings to link the domain data to their presentations. These approaches work fine for defining simple bindings, but require an increasing programming effort as soon as the bindings become more complex. In this paper, we propose the use of active operations for specifying and implementing UI data bindings to tackle this issue. We demonstrate that the proposed approach goes beyond the usual declarative data bindings by combining the simplicity of the declarative approaches with the expressiveness of active operations.
