I am just getting into dbforms. Seems like the interceptors are used to do preprocessing of submitted data before an action, like a DML statement on a database.
If you encapsulate all the interceptor logic into classes, it then becomes easy in your swing application to just bundle up all the <validated> screen control values and call a DML class that calls the same classes as you wrote for the interceptor before it does the operations on the tables.
In this way, you are helped in writing interceptor classes to keep them general, and you don't need to add layers of complexity to the swing.

Dear Bill,
my target isn't to create Swing components that use jsp tags...
but my project done with dbforms has a lot of logic
(for example a lot of interceptors, a lot of classes used by interceptors)
If I have to realize a Swing GUI for some parts of the same project I know that
is possible to use a drag-and-drop into and IDE but the things would be better
if I have a framework for my swing app where there are interceptors with the
same logic and interface of dbforms, where I could use the same logic
classes...
and so on... This could make a lot of sense to me....

I find these swing posts to be curious. dbforms is all about making
web-based UI easy to write by using servlets and jsp tags. If you want to
swing, go get an IDE that has drag-and-drop swing components. You don't
need servlets or jsp for that, it is native Java. Trying to make dbforms
do swing does not make sense to me.
