How to initialize component parameters

["F. Da Costa Gomez" <dc...@fixed.com>]

Hi,

I was wondering whether someone could help me with the following.
I'm trying to put together a table that takes any class as entry and thus 
shows it as a table.
The snippets allow me to put the Brand.class on the screen, no problems.
However, how do I get hold of a dynamically selected entry so that the 
table can be used for any class at will?
It should probably go via the *customTableTest* but I'm not seeing yet how 
I can accomplish this. The get/set are not getting called at all.
The code was basically constructed around around the workbench example.

All help is much appreciated.
Tnx,

Fermin DCG
