Class Overview

The PageByElementList is the interface used by the PageByBean to represent the list of elements available for a PageByUnit.

A page-by unit controls the data displayed to the end-user: when a report or document is executed each unit is displayed with a combo-box that lists its elements; the data is automatically filtered based on the currently selected element.

The PageByElementList returns the enumeration of all possible elements for its corresponding PageByUnit. Each element implements the PageByElement interface. This class also provides a convenience method that returns the PageByElement currently selected (if any).
