Is there a way to get all bindings of a JavaFX property?

The title says it all, but to elaborate: if I add one or more bindings to some property, is there a way to get and examine them later? I would expect there is getBindings() method in the Property class, but obviously there isn't.

What is JavaFX binding and how does it work?

The JavaFX binding synchronizes two values: when a dependent variable changes, the other variable changes. To bind a property to another property, call the bind () method which binds values in one direction. For instance, when property A binds to property B, the change in property B will update property A, but not the other way around.

How to bind a property to another property in JavaFX?

To bind a property to another property, call the bind () method which binds values in one direction. For instance, when property A binds to property B, the change in property B will update property A, but not the other way around. JavaFX provides many binding options to synchronize between properties in domain objects and GUI controls.

How many types of properties are there in JavaFX?

There are 30 types of Property object in JavaFX, including the StringProperty, SimpleListProperty and ReadOnlyObjectProperty. Each property wraps an existing Java object, adding functionality for listening and binding. The SimpleDoubleProperty inherits from a significant part of the JavaFX bindings, properties and value packages.

What's new in JavaFX?

This release introduces property support into JavaFX, support that is based on the proven JavaBeans model, but expanded and improved. JavaFX properties are often used in conjunction with binding, a powerful mechanism for expressing direct relationships between variables.

While looking for a solution for this, I came to realization that getBindings() method probably doesn't exist because there is no elegant way to implement it, due to Binding being a parameterized type. Workaround is to track bindings yourself, but it is difficult to do without resorting to raw types. One way is to use Mediator pattern. BTW, the same goes for listeners and event handlers.
