Hi Michael,

I actually stepped down from using the "as you type" binding for my problem. It really seems to be a bad idea in most situations. It turned out that I need text fields on my GUI where the submittance of partial inputs would not pass validation anyway. Since I only wanted to enable a save button on user input I now just register a Action/ChangeListener on each control that is bound by Genesis and enable the button in it (I subclassed the swing binder to do this automatically for each bound control). The real data transfer from field to model now happens somewhat later, in the moment where the focus goes from the input field to the save button, but that is early enough.

However, I tested your AsynchroniusJTextComponentBinder with my old strategy and it seems to work like expected. I no longer get model updates with empty strings. The model setters are not at all called on the initial binding. I was not able to detect any side effects, altho I haven't tested it that much until now. But things look good.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards,
