NAME

       Embperl::Form::DataSource - Base class for data source objects which provides the data for
       ControlMutlValue objects.

SYNOPSIS

       Do not use directly, instead derive a class

DESCRIPTION

       This class is not used directly, it is used as a base class for all data source objects.  It provides a
       set of methods that could be overwritten to customize the behaviour of your controls.

METHODS

   get_values
       returns the values and options. Must be overwritten.

       get_id_from_value

       returns an id for a given value. This allows one to have an id form a value/option pair which is not
       exactly the same as the value. This is used in json requests for example for selectdyn control.

       get_datasource_controls

       returns additional controls provided by the datasource object e.g. a browse button
