About Binding Components to Data

See Also

When you bind a component to data, you create a connection between the component and the data. The data might be from one or more columns in a database table, a web service method, or an Enterprise JavaBean method. This connection permits the component to display data values. How you bind the component depends on the component type. The types of components are as follows:

• Simple. A simple component displays one value at a time, for example, a Button, Checkbox, Hyperlink, Text Field, or Static Text.
   
  
• List. A list component displays one or more values at a time, for example, a Listbox, a Drop Down List, or a Radio Button Group.
   
  
• Table component.
