Managing the runtime behavior of a JavaFX MenuBar

I have a BorderPane, onto which I placed a MenuBar. At the center of the BorderPane I display differnt AnchorPanes depending on the MenuItem selected. So far so good.
Now, how do I make sure that the Menus change behavior in response to the item selected in the child AnchorPane? So for example if the user selects "Edit", there will be a different action depending on whether the item currently higlighted is a user account, a file etc.
So far I made something along these lines:
The BorderPane controller:
public class MenuTest implements Initializable{
@FXML
private BorderPane borderPaneMain;
@FXML
private AnchorPane anchorPaneMain;
@FXML
private Menu menuEdit;
@FXML
private MenuItem itemEdit;
static String menuMode;
static String entityName;
public MenuTest(){
menuMode ="";
entityName = "";
}
@Override
public void initialize(URL arg0, ResourceBundle arg1) {
AnchorPane anchor;
try {
anchor = (AnchorPane) new FXMLLoader().load(getClass().getResource("views/MainView.fxml"));
borderPaneMain.setCenter(anchor);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
protected static void setMenuMode(String menuMd, String entityNm){
entityName = entityNm;
menuMode = menuMd;
}
@FXML
private void onEditClick(){
if(entityName.equals(AnchorTest.FILE)){
//Launches correct edit view
new FXMLLoader().load(getClass().getResource("views/EditFile.fxml"));
//Passes the name of the entity so that the controller can retrieve its data
FileEditController.setFile(entityName);
}else if(entityName.equals(AnchorTest.PERSON)){
new FXMLLoader().load(getClass().getResource("views/EditPerson.fxml"));
PersonEditController.setFile(entityName);
}
}
}
The child AnchorPane controller:
public class AnchorTest implements Initializable{
public static final String PERSON = "PERSON";
public static final String FILE = "FILE";
ObservableList<String> peopleList;
ObservableList<String> fileList;
@FXML
private ListView<String> listPeople;
@FXML
private ListView<String> listFiles;
@Override
public void initialize(URL location, ResourceBundle resources) {
peopleList = FXCollections.observableArrayList("Frank","Matin","Anne");
fileList = FXCollections.observableArrayList("hello.txt","holiday.jpg","cv.doc");
listPeople.setItems(peopleList);
listFiles.setItems(fileList);
}
@FXML
private void personSelected(){
MenuTest.setMenuMode(this.PERSON, listPeople.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem());
}
@FXML
private void fileSelected(){
MenuTest.setMenuMode(this.FILE, listFiles.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem());
}
}
However I'm not sure that it's the best solution, especially considering the if/elseif statement will need to be altered whenever I add a new element type and its corresponding edit options. So is there any way that I can do this better?

I think if your application has only a few (2-4) different types of "things" that are represented by a AnchorPane
, then your approach is totally fine. An alternative to your approach is the state pattern. In that case, your currently selected "item type" would be your state.
