Accessing WebPrompt

The PromptObject, obtained from the PromptsBean, is transformable and can be rendered to the screen as a prompt question to the user.  Additionally, the PromptObject provides access to the underlying WebPrompt object from the Web Objects API.

Accessing WebPrompt is important as it provides information such as:

• Prompt Type  

• Allowable range or selection of answers (“Suggested Answers”)  

• Default Answers  

• Current Answers

This information is critical since the values dictate the rendering of the prompt question by the PromptObject’s transform.
