* Used as parameter of the <code>prepareCreate(..)</code>, <code>create(..)</code>, <code>load(..)</code>, <code>store(..)</code> functions in the {{ScoutLink|Concepts|Process Service|process service}}.
+
 
+
* Importation in {{ScoutLink|Concepts|Form|Form}}: {{ScoutEvent|Load}} and {{ScoutEvent|Store}} events of {{ScoutLink|Concepts|Form Handler|FormHandler}}:
+
** <code>exportFormData()</code>

+
=== FormData anotation ===
+
* {{ScoutJavadoc|FormData|A}} FormData annotation

+
<!-- old: ** "CREATE EXTERNAL" parameter is needed on fiels (a GroupBoxField for example) defined in an external Class that contains other fields. -->
+
 
+
== Structure of a FormData ==
+
The FormData depends from the {{ScoutLink|Concepts|Form}} it contains the data. The SDK generate:
+
* For each {{ScoutLink|Concepts|ValueField}} a <tt>AbstractValueFieldData<T></tt> is generated.
+
* For each {{ScoutLink|Concepts|TableField}} a {{ScoutLink|Concepts|TableData}} is generated.
+
* For each form-variable an <tt>AbstractPropertyData<T></tt>
+
 
+
The inner-class structure from the composite field (like groupboxes) get lost, unless Group-Box templates are used.
+
 
+
The value fields properties (<tt>getConfiguredMandatory()</tt>, <tt>getConfiguredMaxValue()</tt>, <tt>getConfiguredMaxLength()</tt>...) are mapped to <tt>ValidationRules</tt> conatained in the formData. Those rules are used to redo the basic UI client-side validations on the server.
