Toolkit Modules
The FileNet® Web Application Toolkit is an environment for componentized
Web application development based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC)
design methodology. Componentization allows an application to be broken
down into a collection of reusable, stateful Java™Beans. MVC provides the
separation of application logic from the user interface (model and view).
The Toolkit consists of the following module types:
-
Controller Framework provides the runtime environment for the components
used within an application page. The controller is the foundation of
the Toolkit, designed for you to plug in application-logic and
presentation components extended from the Toolkit's reusable modules.
-
Data Providers serve as an application-level interface to lower-level
FileNet or third-party APIs.
-
Base UI Modules represent some portion of the application logic and user interface of an application page.
-
Utilities are a set of helper APIs, providing such features as localization,
context-sensitive help, and XSL transformation. Some utilities are used independently, and others are used with the controller, UI modules, and data providers.
