    • newBinding

      Binding newBinding(String description, ComponentResources container, ComponentResources component, String expression, Location location)
      Creates a new binding instance. The binding represents a connection between the container and the component (the component is usually the child of the component, though in a few cases, it is the component itself). In most cases, the expression is evaluated in terms of the resources of the container and the component is ignored.
      Parameters:
      description - of the binding, such as, "parameter foo"
      container - the component, as represented by its resources, for which a binding is to be created.
      component - the component whose parameter is to be bound by the resulting binding (rarely used)
      expression -
      location - from which the binding was generate, or null if not known
      Returns:
      the new binding instance
