Class FormSheetContentCreator

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--sale.FormSheetContentCreator

public abstract class FormSheetContentCreator

extends Object

implements Serializable

Helper class that creates the contents of a FormSheet.

A FormSheetContentsCreator is used by FormSheets to create their contents, i.e. to set their component and the buttons in the FormSheet's button bar. Objectifying this process is needed to make FormSheets persistent as the Swing components' serializability is not reliable. Therefore, whenever you create a serializable FormSheet, use FormSheetContentsCreators.
