Package org.silverpeas.core.contribution.content.form

Defines the interface of all of the objects that represent forms, fields, templates describing forms, and so on. A form is described by a template (that can be defined by an XML representation) and it is a set of fields. Fields in form are exchanged through a record of data. Silverpeas provides an implementation of theses interfaces that match different kinds of fields and forms.
