=== Registering complex parameters ===
For simple data types like primitives or {{Class|java.lang.String}} calling <code>add(parameterName)</code> is enough to register the parameter. In case of more complex parameters special editor must be set as well as some additional {{Class|java.beans.PropertyDescriptor}} parameters. Usually this can be done using special convenience methods.

* Repository elements should be registered via static methods defined in {{Class|ru.biosoft.access.repository.DataElementPathEditor}}:
** Use {{Method|ru.biosoft.access.repository.DataElementPathEditor.registerInput}} methods to register input element (user will be forced to select existing element of given type).
** Use {{Method|ru.biosoft.access.repository.DataElementPathEditor.registerInputMulti}} methods to register set of input elements (user will be able to select several elemens using Ctrl or Shift buttons).
** Use {{Method|ru.biosoft.access.repository.DataElementPathEditor.registerOutput}} methods to register output element (user will be asked for confirmation to overwrite an existing item).
* {{Type link|table|Table}} column name selector should be registered via static methods defined in {{Class|ru.biosoft.table.columnbeans.ColumnNameSelector}}:
** Use {{Method|ru.biosoft.table.columnbeans.ColumnNameSelector.registerSelector}} methods to allow selection of any column.
** Use {{Method|ru.biosoft.table.columnbeans.ColumnNameSelector.registerNumericSelector}} methods to allow selection of numerical column only.
*: <b>Note</b>: column name must be defined as {{Class|java.lang.String}} in parameters class and its default value must be either {{Constant|ru.biosoft.table.columnbeans.ColumnNameSelector.NONE_COLUMN}} or any existing column (not null).
* Set of {{Type link|table}} column names should be registered via static methods defined in {{Class|ru.biosoft.table.columnbeans.ColumnNamesSelector}}:
** Use {{Method|ru.biosoft.table.columnbeans.ColumnNameSelector.registerSelector}} methods to allow selection of any columns.
** Use {{Method|ru.biosoft.table.columnbeans.ColumnNameSelector.registerNumericSelector}} methods to allow selection of numerical columns only.
*: <b>Note</b>: column names must be defined as {{Class|java.lang.String[]}} in parameters class.
* Selector for predefined species can be registered using {{Method|ru.biosoft.workbench.editors.DataElementComboBoxSelector.registerSelector}} method with {{Constant|biouml.standard.type.Species.SPECIES_PATH}} as collectionPath parameter.
* Selector for [[reference type]] should be registered via {{Method|ru.biosoft.workbench.editors.ReferenceTypeSelector.registerSelector}} methods.
* For {{Class|java.awt.Color}} parameter type set {{Class|com.beanexplorer.editors.ColorEditor}} property editor class.
