Class FormData

java.lang.Object
fc.web.forms.FormData
public final class FormData extends Object
An object that contains form data submitted by a user. This object represents the data submitted by a browser upon each time the form is submitted. This object can then be passed along to various other methods in the form framework as needed. This object can also be created manually before the form is shown if default/initial values must differ per user (say, when user must initially see their last filled value which is retreived from a database).

    • putValidatedData

      public void putValidatedData(String fieldname, Object obj)
      Useful if strings entered by the user in the browser form are converted to dates/times etc as part of the validation.
