Hello all,
I'm coming from a dev background of swing then a flex project and now we are
back on a java project.
After my experiences with flex/actionscript I've been looking for a more
modern alternative to swing so
that lead me to pivot.
Right now I'm struggling with understanding data binding in pivot (I'm using
trunk of 2.0).
In flex/actionscript, just about any thing (components, data) were
"bindable". What that allowed was the ability to
populate a bindable structure (arraylist for instance)  and then refer to
that arraylist as the "dataprovider" for any of
the components. Changes to the arraylist are automatically reflected in any
components that were bound to it.
That's the general idea but it's a pretty vague description/example. Here is
an example from the docs that shows an arraylist as a dataprovider to a
table (datagrid):

This paradigm was one of the great things about flex/actionscript and I was
hoping pivot had some similar mechanisms in place but
I can't find a concrete example of it. Is there an analogous "databinding"
concept in pivot?

Thanks for any guidance here.
