Defining a Binding Path

You use binding paths to address the different properties and lists contained in a model. The binding path defines how a specific node in the hierarchical data tree can be found. A binding path contains a number of name tokens, which are separated by a separator char. In all models provided by the framework, the separator char is the slash "/".

A binding path can either be absolute or relative: Absolute binding paths start with a slash, relative binding paths start with a name token and are resolved relative to the contet of the control that is bound.

A context exists either for each entry of the aggregation in case of aggregation binding or can be set explicitly for a control by using the setBindingContext method. Relative bindings without a defined context are resolved relative to the model root.

The syntax is specific to the respective model.
