public class DataContext
extends DataClass

A mapping from DataSource IDs to specific Records.

To understand how dataContext is used to automatically populate DataBoundComponents, see Canvas.autoPopulateData.

For example, in SmartGWT:

    Record customerRecord = new Record();
    customerRecord.setAttribute("customerNumber", "15");
    customerRecord.setAttribute("name", "Trish Joiner");
 
    Record employeeRecord = new Record();
    employeeRecord.setAttribute("employeeID", "4231");
    employeeRecord.setAttribute("name", "Fred Smith");
 
    DataContext dataContext = new DataContext();
    dataContext.addMapping("Customer", customerRecord);
    dataContext.addMapping("Employee", employeeRecord);
