public class ProxyListFieldModel
extends ListFieldModel

Project35 was originally developed to read a model from an XML Schema. In the XML Schema, you can define a list in one place and reference it in multiple locations. When the XML Schema was parsed, the end result was a collection of record model factories. These factory constructs would be instantiated whenever a copy of the record was needed. To accommodate the feature of defining a list once and referencing it multiple times, the factory objects could end up containing references. It was necessary to later substitute these proxy list models for real ones. the proxy list models will contain a lot of the same information as the real ones.
