Hi,

in a follow-up to this discussion in the old forum, I would like to know if using the Eclipse context is still the only (or best) way to access a controller instance after loading an FXML file using the FXMLLoaderFactory class.

The example code was:
@PostConstruct
void init(BorderPane parent, @FXMLLoader FXMLLoaderFactory factory, IEclipseContext ctx) {
   Parent topElement = (Parent) factory.loadRequestorRelative("Test.fxml").load();
   my.package.Controller c = ctx.get("my.package.Controller");
}

According to this Eclipsepedia page, "it is not intended for the developer to use the IEclipseContext directly". So is there a better alternative?

The FXMLLoader class has a getController() method. Could we have a similar solution for the FXMLLoaderFactory or FXMLBuilder class?

Thanks,
Uwe

Sure file a feature request, I agree the IEclipseContext should be
referenced only as a last resort in code.

I've been working on a related topic lately which allows you to publish
informations without the IEclipseContext but it is not yet checked into
the repo.
