Thanks Nat,
My data JSON which I want to fill in with values coming from front end and
template json which I want to fill in, both are highly complex. template
json It has many nested fields. Right now, I have one static JSON which I
know, but in future it might change. But I know that It makes sense in
Java env.
For example, in my template.json, with field class, values are again
nested into single value or multiple value.
{ id: "",
name: "",
.....,
fields: [
field :{
id: 110, type: String, enabled: true, value : { id: 101, name:
"Doctor" , hidden : false}
},
field :{
id: 110, type: String, enabled: true, multivalue : { value: [{ id:
101, name: "Doctor" , hidden : false}, { id: 101, name: "Doctor" , hidden
: false}]}}
},
field :{}, field :{},...... field :{},
]
}
Can you suggest how will I achieve fields array in my template class
(following your approach). I create another field class but then we have
values which can be of differnt types.
