Appendix C. Typical Templates

This section contains examples of templates for typical scenarios. Every example is given using one of the following data source objects:

• manager, an instance of the Manager class
• managers, an enumeration of instances of the Manager class
• contracts, an enumeration of instances of the Contract class
• clients, an enumeration of instances of the Client class

The Manager, Contract, and Client classes are defined as follows.

public class Manager
{
	public String getName() { ... }
	public int getAge() { ... }
	public byte[] getPhoto() { ... }
	public Iterable<Contract> getContracts() { ... }
	...
}

public class Contract
{
	public Manager getManager() { ... }
	public Client getClient() { ... }
	public float getPrice() { ... }
	public Date getDate() { ... }
	...
}

public class Client
{
	public String getName() { ... }
