- ## Method Details

  - ### 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
