Views require the following data externalized in the XML views definition file:
<view id="myPanel" context="myPanelCtx" defaultOperation="myPanelOp" implClass="mypackage.MyPanel"/>
The application may get an instance of the view using the following protocol:
(CoordinatedPanel) myPanel=(CoordinatedPanel) DSECoordinatedPanel. readObject("myPanel");
This means that the view named myPanel will be an instance of mypackage.MyPanel. The views externalizer will update the instance with the corresponding attributes belonging to the context and the default operation attached to the panel, through the initializeFrom(Tag aTag) method implemented by the toolkit.
