Put it all together (JavaFX 2.x Custom component, FXML, JAX-RS 2.0 client API)

In my last post, I wrote about how to make custom component compatible with FXML and how to use it in an application.
Before that, I had tested the client API of JAX-RS 2.0 (with JSON and XML serialization).
And now, when I’m putting them together, I can write a small JavaFX 2 application which consumes REST services.

JavaFX 2.x custom component compatible with FXML

In November, last year, I wrote a little example on how to extend an existing component in JavaFx 2.0.
Today, I would use this component in FXML and make a little demo.
The application for the demo is very simple:

• One SearchTextBox component (custom component) with events on OnCrossButtonMouseClicked and OnSearchEvent.
• One ComboBox to change the font size of the SearchTextBox component.
