Obtain a model class from a DataList?

Hi Everybody

I'm developing a simple JMS consumer plugin in JOGET exploiting the AuditTrailPlugin superclass that allows a plugin to work in background. Now I'm facing a problem. When a specific event triggers my plugin, I have to start a process and compile a form. From what I understand, a form is simply an interface usable only by the UI that simplifies the creation of a datalist in the DB, so a plugin cannot compile a form directly, but have to write a row in the datalist. 

So here is my problem:  how can I obtain a model object from the datalist structure (with getter/setters) in order to write a new row?  At the moment I instantiate a ForwRow and use the .setProperty method to set values of the columns given the id, but it's not the best approach, since I could modify columns ids or structure later! 

Thanks in advance, any advice will be appreciated

      Hi, I do not think there are specific model classes, and you are meant to use a generic FormRow object. If you need to obtain the columns and definition of the datalist, you could try using the DataListService.

        Thank you for your response. 

        So for example, If I have to simulate the compilation of a repeated subform,seen as a JSON array in the datalist  , there is no way to handle possible changes in the subform (add,remove, change id of fields), exploiting the strong typing of Java as a validation for the fields?
