Hi All,

I'd thought I'd ask first before filing a bug report.

I sometimes add ListChangeListener to the DataBindingContext#getBindings()
to track bindings being added and removed, so I can add generic behaviour
to them with out manually adding the listeners to each binding. However,
cleaning up is a hassel as I can't detect when the DataBindingContext gets
disposed. The DataBindingContext itself doesn't have a addDisposeListener
method and the underlying IObservableList that it uses are not disposed
when DataBindingContext#dispose is called. (dispose is called on each Bind
held in the IObservableList, but not on the IObservableList itself).

Would it be possible to modify DataBindingContext#dipose() so that it
called dispose on the IObservables it used?

bindings.dispose()
unmodifiableBindings.dispose() //(Calling dipose on a wrapping collection
doesn't call dispose on the wrappee)
validationStatusProviders.dispose()
unmodifiableStatusProviders.dispose()
validationStatusMap.dispose()

Is there another way to do it?

Cheers,

Ashley Cambrell

Hi,

No because you can in theory share observables between databinding
contexts. In 3.5 a new class named ObservableTracker was added but
because we discovered a late bug it's not useable until 3.5.1.
