Different services and people with
different roles within different departments need to work together to drive
business processes. The most effective approach for such solutions is the
composite methodology which allows reuse and composition of different services,
user interface components and business processes into flexible solutions.
It comprises design tools,
methodologies, services and processes, an abstraction layer for objects, and
user interface and process pattern libraries. Powerful service facilities help
to build J2EE services from scratch or compose existing services into new and
more powerful ones. Guided Procedures on the other hand help to orchestrate the
different pieces in order to create multi-step, workflow-based solutions beyond
of the scope of a single computer desktop.
The Composite Application
Framework (CAF) conforms to the generally accepted technological standard of
Model Driven Architecture (MDA) including modeling and configuration tools,
metadata-based generation mechanisms, user interface and process patterns,
predefined content, standardized interfaces and guidelines.
Integration
The Composite Application
Framework leverages all layers of SAP NetWeaver.
