iwtEditProvider: what is it? Where it is documented?

I was reading someone else's code which uses iwtEditProvider. I saw this in every Release Note too. However, I just can't seem to find formal documentation of what this is or how to use it. I couldn't find this component anywhere in Portal's LDAP server either.

Can someone shed some light on this subject? Thanks!

iwtEditProvider is the provider that gets invoked when you click the edit button in your provider.

For any provider there are three methods which you primarily need to handle ..

getContent(), the method that generates the provider content,

getEdit(), the method that handles the edit functionality when the user click edit

ProcessEdit(), the method that handles the processing of the edit form.

The methods are documented in the ProviderAdapter class and you don't need to directly invoke or make any changes to the iwtEditProvider code.
