JavaFx TableView cellFactory memory overhead - javafx

Question

My question is related to TableView from JavaFx.
JavaFx recommends using Properties for storing values which are going to be shown in the table ( SimpleSttringProperty, etc. ) like in the example below.
Isn't this an memory overhead for Java ( creating another object for each cell ) ?
I am going to use the TableView to show more then 10.000 rows from the database.
Isn't there a way to avoid this, and simply work as Swing did earlier ?
Can't TableView get only the value to represent ?
For all solutions I found an ObservableValue is required for each cell, which may require a lot of memory.
TableColumn<Person,String> firstNameCol = new TableColumn<Person,String>("First Name");
firstNameCol.setCellValueFactory( element -> element.getValue().firstName );
or
firstNameCol.setCellValueFactory( new PropertyValueFactory<Person, String>("firstName"));
public static class Person {
public final SimpleStringProperty firstName;
private final SimpleStringProperty lastName;
private final SimpleStringProperty email;
private Person(String fName, String lName, String email) {
this.firstName = new SimpleStringProperty(fName);
this.lastName = new SimpleStringProperty(lName);
this.email = new SimpleStringProperty(email);
}

Answer 1

You are not required to use property in your model. Here is an example
public class Person {
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private String email;
public Person() {
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
public void setEmail(String email) {
this.email = email;
}
}
just create the property when you need it.
firstNameCol.setCellValueFactory(cdf -> new SimpleStringProperty(cdf.getValue().getFirstName()));
