Business Object Modeler via CAF

Generated methods areimplemented as EJBs.Distinguishes between localand remote persistedbusiness objects

– Local persistency – data is saved incomposite itself via JPA

– Remote persistency – data is saved inbackend system

Additional infrastructurefeatures like documenthandling, authorization, andlogging & tracing areintegrated automaticallyand interfaces to theseservices are created.

Is a tool for defining business objects, attributes and their properties as well as relationsbetween business objects.These objects and their definitions serve to generate tables, table-relations, DDIC-elementsand basic methods for reading, writing, changing, deleting & searching data (life-cyclemethods).

Application Service Modeler with CAF

Addition features can beautomatically provided bythe infrastructure such asdocument handling,authorization, logging &tracing.

Supports easy access toexternal systems via WebService or RFC models.

Application services can bereused and published asWeb Services.

Is a tool for defining application services, operations (methods) and the associatedbusiness objects that the application service depends on.Provides a means to implement business logic for the composite application.
