public final class NonNullValueModel
extends AbstractValueModel

A ValueModel implementation that avoids null values. It wraps another ValueModel and returns a (non-null) default value if the wrapped ValueModel returns null.

Note that value change events fired by this model may use null as old and/or new value. This is because PropertyChangeEvents use null to indicate that the old and/or new value is not provided by the event.

Note: This class is not yet part of the binary Binding library; it comes with the Binding distributions as an extra. The API is work in progress and may change without notice; this class may even be completely removed from future distributions. If you want to use this class, you may consider copying it into your code base.
