Here's a contrived example. I have a bunch of pets with associated

about
doing that?
Hmm... Well, the details would depend on whether I was getting the
data from
the database, already had it in an array, etc. But I think the answer
you're looking for is that I would call a get method on an object that
contained the data, passing in the pet's name or the id associated
with it
(depending on the data available), and assign the result to the value
variable of a display object.
Am I on the right track? :)
Not quite... You probably should go through one of the WebObjects
tutorials (there should be a tutorial on an Authors database) to learn
the fundamentals of the WebObjects way of data modeling, abstraction
and handling. It will also teach you the basics of how to display data
on the pages.
It will take you probably 1-2 days to go through it.
