A practical workflow

  1. Adaptive filtering and sorting initially process on the server for large datasets, then switch to client-side filtering and sorting once all matching records are loaded.
  2. UI components support a pluggable data model that describes data and operations, allowing reuse with any data provider and easy swapping of data models.
  3. Server data binding parses complex requests into Java objects, supports XML routing, custom data connectors, and automatic population of Java beans with validated data.
