As this is at the framework level, I would like to make it more bullet proof. Also, the framework as some sub classes of the DataEntry class itself. So, I need to fine tune here. Could you elaborate more on the If condition in here which will exit the While? I understand it is a comparism to know if we have reached the top level. So, for as long as the While goes, we climb the chain. But, what does Object represent in that line?
