Core Development Tasks 

This chapter of the CAF Core development guide covers the following topics:

●     Composite Application Framework Runtime Configurator

Here you will find a central access point to administrative, test, and other tools necessary for the development of your CAF Core application. You will find a list of user interfaces you can configure for use in the CAF Core runtime environment as well as other useful CAF Core features.

Although this topic describes some administrative functions, this is not an administrative section describing how CAF Core should be fine-tuned on a daily or periodical basis. Look to the SAP NetWeaver Technical Operations Manual for this information.

●     Developing User Interfaces in CAF Core

This topic describes in detail the configurable user interface components (also known as Web Dynpro UI patterns) you can use to develop your CAF Core application. These UIs are accessed via the CAF Runtime Configurator mentioned above.

●     Designing Services in CAF Core

In this section, you will learn how create and model the three types of services that are the cornerstone to any CAF Core project. These entity, application, and external services are defined and maintained with the service modeling tools of the CAS plug-in to SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.

●     Modifying the Web Dynpro Model

You have created your CAF project and designed your services. Before you can guarantee successful integration into CAF Core, you must first modify the Web Dynpro model created at the start. This topic describes the process to do this.
