UI5 Databinding using Path:

[former_member214868]

Hi ,

Please explain me the difference and significance of using path:/ and the plain model property name references from the below.

		var oTextField1 = new sap.ui.commons.TextField({id : "Field1",value : {path : "/firstName"}});
		var oLabel2 = new sap.ui.commons.Label({text : "Last Name:"});

var oTextField2 = new sap.ui.commons.TextField({id : "Field2",value : {

path : "/lastName"}});

		var oTextView1 = new sap.ui.commons.TextView("textView1", {text : "{/firstName}"});
		var oTextView2 = new sap.ui.commons.TextView("textView2", {text : "{/lastName}"});

When we need to use /path and when to use direct property names references?. Please Clarify.

Thanks,

Urmi
