Adding records
To add a record, the application can use the method addRecord(), which is defined in the TableService interface. The format of a record is defined at customization time and is implementation-dependent. The toolkit formatting facilities can be used, so the record can be built from different data fields found anywhere in the operation context. This is done using a Hashtable Format, which describes which data fields must be stored and how they have to be formatted before constructing the table record. A Hashtable instance is obtained by calling the format(Context aContext) method for the specific format element object.
The TableService interface, which is implemented by the JDBCTable class, accepts formatted data, a context and a formatter name, or a context and a formatter, as addRecord() method arguments. (When a formatter or formatter name is passed, the service itself calls the format() method of the formatter object to build the data into the JDBCTable table record.)
