Feeder Class

Definition
A feeder class provides a link between the application and the generic user inte
rface building block (GUIBB).
Feeder class implementations are based on a predefined interface definition, pro
viding all necessary methods and corresponding signatures to standardize the com
munication between the application and the GUIBB.
A feeder class is a class that implements one of the following ABAP interfaces:
IF_FPM_GUIBB_FORM (for form components)
IF_FPM_GUIBB_FORM_REPEATER (for form repeater components)
IF_FPM_GUIBB_LIST (for list components)
IF_FPM_GUIBB_SEARCH (for search components)
IF_FPM_GUIBB_TREE (for hierarchical list components)
IF_FPM_GUIBB_LAUNCHPAD (for launchpad components)
Using the GET_DEFINITION method, the class defines the field catalog (the fields
that are available for use in the configuration) of the component and supplies
the component at runtime with data from the application using the GET_DATA metho
