Data sources are connecting objects that
bridge the back-end with the front-end application, or GUI. They
transform data retrieved from the back end into business objects
that will then be rendered as graphic objects at the level of the
graphic components.
JViews TGO provides a
default implementation of the data source that directly plugs to
XML files or streams or to JavaBeans™. On the other side, the same
data source can be connected to multiple graphic components,
allowing you to have different views of the same original data
with a consistent appearance.
You can specialize the data source to
connect to other types of back end, such as Java™ Naming and
Directory Interface (JNDI), or any other kind of back-end
application.
