JForm Swing data binding and validation framework
by Kevin Dangoor
Via JavaGeek, I came across JForm which does data binding and validation. The approach looks interesting, but it is different from one I have been thinking of. I’ve been thinking of something that does data binding in a dynamically typed manner, which provides quite a bit of flexibility for the kind of data model you’re working with. JForm does implement some interesting features, though, such as automatic validation and highlighting of the field that is being edited.
How does one get to see the jForm?

It looks like they may have changed it to JForms:

Besides, I think that project will likely be destroyed by Sun’s recently released JDNC project.
JForm destroyed by Sun’s JDNC HAHAHA
JForm is alive and kicking! The current version supersedes the version I hosted on java.net in almost every aspect.
(Jform is now hosted here http://jform.coderight.nl)
Everyone is enthousiastic about JDNC now that it’s just been released.
I’m waiting for the first real world apps build with JDNC, then watch the forum… It’s not gonna work for real enterprise desktop apps believe me…
Btw I have nothing against JDNC and believe this is a good thing from Sun.
Although JDNC and Jform both want to make life easier for Swing developers.
JForm is targeted at the more experienced Swing developer.
