 ===== What else? =====
-That is how [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/jvx/|JVx]] works in regards to the UI layer. It depends on “technology-specific stacks”, which can be swapped out and implemented for pretty much every GUI framework out there. We currently provide support for Swing, JavaFX, and Vaadin, but we also had implementations for GWT and Qt. Additionally, we do support a “headless” implementation, which uses lightweight objects that can be serialized and send over the wire without much effort.

 ===== Creating Custom Components =====
-We will use an example from the [[#part_about_creating_custom_components|part about creating custom components]], which we will come to later. The ''%%BeepComponent%%'' is a simple ''%%UIComponent%%'' extension which contains a label and two buttons inside itself.

-We are setting a new UI resource (a ''%%UIPanel%%'') in the constructor (at line #5) that is to be used by the ''%%UI component%%''. In this case, it is not an implementation, but another UI component. However, that doesn’t matter because the UI resource only must implement the expected interface. At line #15 we start using that custom UI resource.

-Because UI component is an abstract component designed for exactly this usage, the example might not be the most exciting one, but it clearly illustrates the mechanic.

-That is because such extended components are not “passed” to the technology; they only exist on the UI layer because they do not have a Technology component which could be used. That is done by adding the ''%%UI component%%'' to the UI parent, but for adding the actual technology component the set UI resource is used.
