Chapter 3. Understanding the Model Layer
In the previous chapter, we had an overview of the framework in action. We created a sample application using the ADF components and ran it successfully. Isn't it easy to develop a complete application in this way? The answer is most probably yes, because we hardly wrote any code and yet we had a complete, working web application.
So what's next? We will dig deeper into the ADF business components to know more about the capabilities of the framework in the real world. ADF business components will help the developers to reduce the time taken to build objects for communicating with the database and manipulating the records. These components are also responsible for maintaining and managing the transactions efficiently.
In this chapter, we will learn the following:
About different business components
How these components are interrelated
How the components work
Options available in each of the components
