set data from a DAO, in a control
The control must be a container like checkboxes or listbox with multiple attribute. The form should contain a formId
The Dao should map to an "association table" : its primary key should be composed by the primary key stored in the formId (or the given primarykey) + the field which will contain one of the values of the control. If this order is not the same as defined into the dao, you should provide the list of property names which corresponds to the primary key in this order : properties for the formId, followed by the property which contains the value.

save data of a control using a dao.
The control must be a container like checkboxes or listbox with multiple attribute. If the form contain a new record (no formId), you should call saveToDao before in order to get a new id (the primary key of the new record), or you should get a new id by an other way. then you must pass this primary key in the third argument. If the form has already a formId, then it will be used as a primary key, unless you give one in the third argument.
The Dao should map to an "association table" : its primary key should be the primary key stored in the formId + the field which will contain one of the values of the control. If this order is not the same as defined into the dao, you should provide the list of property names which corresponds to the primary key in this order : properties for the formId, followed by the property which contains the value. All existing records which have the formid in their keys are deleted before to insert new values.
