Read a View Context's node's element and assign from Component controller

Question

Hello Experts,
I'm new to JAVA WD.
Here is my scenario.
I have to use an Adobe form in a WDJ. The input parameters and the output parameters of the DC are defined in a method in the Interface Controller method.
The context of the Component Controller has the following structure
Context
---StartDate
---EndDate
---AbsenceType
Then the mapping between the Component controller and the interface controller is done so that the Interface controller also has the context structure as
Context
---StartDate
---EndDate
---AbsenceType
So now the interface controller and the component controller are bounded correctly.
Now I bind the view also with the Component controller as below.
Context
---StartDate
---EndDate
---AbsenceType
But since i need to use an Adobe interactive form inside this view, the datasource for the form cannot be the root context node but some other node. So I replicated the same structure in the view context so as to make the fields visible in the Adobe form context. Now the context looks as below.
Context
---StartDate
---EndDate
---AbsenceType
---DATA_NODE
-----StartDate
-----EndDate
-----AbsenceType
Now my question is, how do i map the result from the Adobe form into the context of the view??
What code should i write and where should i write to achieve this?
I need to do the following. But dont know how to write the code for this.
Context.StartDate = Context.DATA_NODE.StartDate
Context.EndDate = Context.DATA_NODE.StartDate
Context.AbsenceType= Context.DATA_NODE.AbsenceType
Please help!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam

Hello Nikhil,
I'm stuck with another small issue.
Let me first explain what I'm trying to do.
I have a view with the context structure as follows
Context
---DATA_NODE (Node)
----Data1
----Data2
---Data1
---Data2
All i need to do is, at the start of the view, i need to move the data from
Context.Data1=>Context.DATA_NODE.Data1 and
Context.Data2=>Context.DATA_NODE.Data2
Also, at the View Submit button click, I need to move the data from
Context.DATA_NODE.Data1 => Context.Data1 and
Context.DATA_NODE.Data2 => Context.Data2
(I managed to do this submit button click by calling an action->method and wrote the code as you gave earlier)
wdContext.currentContextElement().setData1(wdContext.currentData_NodeElement().getData1());
wdContext.currentContextElement().setData2(wdContext.currentData_NodeElement().getData2());
But I wrote at wdInit() for the view the code in the reverse way, but the values are not getting passed to the Data_Node and hence its not defaulting with the values from the elements of the context.
This is what I wrote.
wdContext.currentData_NodeElement().setData1(wdContext.currentContextElement().getData1());
wdContext.currentData_NodeElement().setData2(wdContext.currentContextElement().getData2());
Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong here.
Appreciate your help in advance!
Cheers,
Sam
