All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

JoinFieldMapping, RegularFieldMapping, VendorFieldMapping, ViewFieldMapping

public abstract class FieldMapping
extends Object
implements Cloneable, Serializable

The FieldMapping class is the superclass that represents the information for all field mappings. Because compound forms are logical objects instead of actual data tables, you must map each field in a compound form to a field in an underlying AR System base form or some other external data source.
