Purpose

The applications form the third level of the SAP J2EE Engine architecture. The boundary between the applications level and the pluggable components level is defined by the J2EE 1.3 APIs along with a few SAP proprietary APIs. Applications use them to utilize the functions of the different types of components on the lower level in the system.

Integration

An enterprise application consists of several types of components. These components reside in different containers on the SAP J2EE Engine as shown in the “SAP J2EE Engine Containers” diagram. Each of these containers provides runtime service and life cycle management for the application components.

Applications inform other applications or pluggable system components that they need to use their classes or runtime objects by defining references to them. Read more on the topic in Application References.
