Method Detail

getSource

T getSource()

Returns "raw" object instance for this view

Returns:

source of this view

copyFromSource

void copyFromSource()

Triggers to copy data from source to view. Different implementations of the view might have different needs on when this would happen. PersistentEventManager will invoke it before delivering if it was not done before.

getCompositeId

String getCompositeId()
