Detailed Description

This class is used to transmit the name and contents of a file from the server to the component.

Library: mvserver
and mvcomp

This class is not reactive. This means that mapping an attribute of type file and then changing the contents of the file will not result in the attribute being renotified. This class is provided so that the server can transmit the contents of a file to a component when a view opens. Thus, the component does not have to have read access to the file.
