How do I synchronize String properties of my model bean (e.g., the Name of a
Customer) with the contents of a JTextField most elegantly. I prefer to work
with the VAJ Visual Composision Editor.

With AWT's TextField that was easy: Just connect the text property of the
TextField to the Name property of the Customer and VCE generates the code
for you.

I tried to tear off the document property of JTextField and connect its
document event to the Customer's Name property. The value of this connection
I connected to the text property of the JTextField.
While this perfectly updates the Customer Name changing the Name is not
reflected in the JTextField.

Is it necessary to create a third connection from the Customer Name to the
text field? That clutters the VCE screen with lots of connections.
Additionally, I get IllegalStateExceptions thrown by
AbstractDocument.writeLock(). I suppose the latter can be avoided by
introducing a flag that prevents circular updates. With TextField
property-to-property connections VAJ exactly does this.

Does anyone know an elegant way performing this in VCE. Application of the
QuickForm feature would be great. Or do I need to code everything myself?

Thank you for your suggestions
