Hi Marcel, ULC widgets are server side versions of Swing widgets and where it was possible to provide a server side model it has been provided.
JTextField uses Document as its model. It is not possible to provide a server side proxy for Document due to the client server split and hence ULCTextField has no model. However, since ULC 2008 a higherlevl construct in the form of FormModel has been provided as part of the ULC Application Framework. Kindly see the ULC Application Development Guide for more details.
