Defect 63867: 
bugzilla_63867 -- Datapool Editor: Value
class values are not being updated correctly.

Rationale:

In this release, we are adding support
for Display Value Classes which allows consumers to customize the Datapool
Editor to handle different editors (for example, a color chooser).  A
bug was found by a consumer of the component noting that the values were
not being updated correctly.  This was due to a missing call to the
Display Value Class API.  This was not an issue for base Hyades because
all values are stored as strings and the default string editor always returned
the updated value.  The fix involves adding a call to the update method
of the display value class and using the updated value.  The fix is
currently being tested by the consumer who found the bug (it is not yet
checked into CVS).  Without this fix, the feature is basically useless
for complex editors whose getValue() does not return the actual value (for
example a combo box). 

Risk Assessment:

No API change. Does not impact consumers
except that value objects get updated properly. 
Low to Medium risk change.
