Data sources
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.
