/** specifies a (form) component which is bound to a data source.

    <p>The interface provides the possibility of committing its respective
    data to a data source it is bound to. A commit() will be
    performed by the environment (usually, a FormController).<br/>
    For example, suppose you have a data-bound control that is connected
    to a database field. Each time the control loses its focus, the
    model (component) of the control is triggered by the environment
    to store its value in the database field.</p>

    <p>A commit may fail if an XUpdateListener vetoes the it.</p>
