A VGUIRecord part is a generatable part and is the basis of a VGUI record, which is a VGWebTransaction program or function variable that makes communication possible between the program and a specific Web page. A VGUIRecord is referenced in each converse or show statement that presents the Web page.
Characteristics of the VGUI record fields (length, primitive type) must match characteristics of Web page fields. Fields in the VGUIRecord part can have the property uiType, which specifies the type of HTML tag to create for that field. Depending on the uiType property, a field in the VGUIRecord part can appear as an input field, an output field, or as a control button.
When you design the JSP that presents the Web page, you need to ensure that fields in the Web page are bound to the equivalent structure fields in the VGUIRecord part. This binding means that the JSF run time will transfer data between a given field in the page and the equivalent field in the VGUI record bean.
