View Objects

One of the areas where Java Proxy has improved over the previous generation of proxy technology is in the handling of view data. Previous proxy technology used a flat view of data. This prevented easy manipulation by developers, as there were no row or column operations, no cloning, and no state reuse. Now, the view data is generated into Import and Export Objects. Some of the benefits of the functionality built into the view objects are:

• Comprehensive-View data and system data together
• Hierarchical-More intuitive access paths to the data
• Object-oriented-Allows more sophisticated manipulation of the data.
• Serializable-Allows object state to be saved and restored.
• No Runtime-Allows for easier transmission/distribution/serialization
• Data Validation-(Immediate) Keeps view always in a consistent state.
• Cloneable-Built-in support for cloning.
• Resetable-Multi-level reset ability gives greater control.
• GroupView Support-Allows for row-level operations or manipulations.
