OA Framework Runtime Contd. When a user makes a request from the browser:

Request is received by the JSP (OA.jsp) JSP invokes OAPageBean OAPageBean creates OAPageContext

Provides access to the state of the page Provides hooks into OA Framework services The OAPageContext instance is passed to the controller

OAF Controller Delegates some events to the Model Performs some data binding Determines next page Determines next page Invokes View to present next page

The view is basically a HTML page. A page would contain one or more region A region can contain normal HTML components and other regions. The JSP/HTML page is rendered from an UIX.

UIX is formed from Meta Data Service (MDS = Metadata Repository + Metadata cache).

MDS is a dictionary containing data about the UI components to be displayed in a page.

MDS has utilities to convert the metadata into XML documents with each components as nodes

Java Augmenter Runtime Contd. When a user invokes augmented OAF page, OA

Page context invokes Java Augmenter Controller from MDS

Invokes Parent Controller followed by Java Augmenter engine to fetch augmented dataAugmenter engine to fetch augmented data

Java Augmenter Engine evaluates the augmentations to the page based on the events and conditions

Other steps would be handled by the OAF to reflect the augmentations
