I was wondering how the dbSwing and the JDBC components are made aware
of the DataSet objects contained within a DataModule.  

I created a DataModule, added a PlainDocument property and ran the
wizard to "Use DataModule" in my frame.  When I went into the designer
of the frame and added a simple JTextField to my frame, I could not use
the design time 'drop-down selection' for the document property of the
JTextField to select the PlainDocument property of the DataModule.  Why?

If I do the exact same steps with a Database and a QueryDataSet in the
DataModule, for the dbSwing and the JDBC components, I can use the
design time 'drop-down selection' for the dataset property.  What magic
is going on in the IDE to make this happen?


public class DataModule1 implements DataModule{
  private static DataModule1 myDM;
  PlainDocument pdEmployeeName = new PlainDocument();;
  public DataModule1() {
    try {
      jbInit();}
    catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();}}
  private void jbInit() throws Exception {}
  public static DataModule1 getDataModule() {
    if (myDM == null)
      myDM = new DataModule1();
    return myDM;}
  public com.sun.java.swing.text.PlainDocument getPdEmployeeName() {
    return pdEmployeeName;}}


public class Frame1 extends JFrame {
  DataModule1 dataModule11;
  JTextField jTextField1 = new JTextField();
  FlowLayout flowLayout1 = new FlowLayout();
  public Frame1() {
    enableEvents(AWTEvent.WINDOW_EVENT_MASK);
    try  {
      jbInit();}
    catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();}}
  private void jbInit() throws Exception  {
    dataModule11 = untitled13.DataModule1.getDataModule();
    this.getContentPane().setLayout(flowLayout1);
    this.setSize(new Dimension(400, 300));
    this.setTitle("Frame Title");
    this.getContentPane().add(jTextField2, null);}
  protected void processWindowEvent(WindowEvent e) {
    super.processWindowEvent(e);
    if (e.getID() == WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING) {
      System.exit(0);}}}

I want to be able to set the document property of the JTextField in the
designer rather than having to go to the code.  If I ad the following
line of code manually all is well...

    jTextField1.setDocument(dataModule11.getPdEmployeeName());

Which is very similar to the line of code that the designer will add
when I set the dataset property in the property editor...

    jdbTextField1.setDataSet(dataModule11.getQueryDataSet1());


What's going on here?

P.S. This was not a 'cross post' rather two separate posts.  I was going
after the JBuilder DataModule crowd and the JBuilder Swing crowd,
thinking that neither frequented the other's territory.
