This is something I really need. I have my user profile fields generated
from a database template table, so that it might contain data for
a "First Name", "Last Name", "Address 1", "Address 2". TO make it reusable
the next application might use "Full Name" and the application knows
how to read the template table and display the correct type of
text field and JavaScript validation function.
I thought using String[] getXXX and setXXX(String[]) methods
might have worked, but didn't.
