Business objects programming
Business objects are containers for application data, such as a customer or an invoice. Data is exchanged between components by way of business objects.
The underlying structure of a business object is an XML schema definition (XSD), and programmatic access to business objects is provided via business object interfaces in WebSphere . Collectively, these aspects of the business object, its structural representation, its programmatic interfaces, and its behavior and manipulation within the service component architecture (SCA), are the business object framework, which provides a powerful, consistent means for describing and delivering business data in your solution.
- Programming model
The business object programming model section describes how the basic types of data are encapsulated within the IBM business object framework. To facilitate the creation and manipulation of business objects, the business object framework extends Service Data Objects specifications by providing a set of Java™ services.- Programming using business object services
To facilitate the creation and manipulation of business objects, the business object framework extends SDO specifications by providing a set of Java services. These services are part of the package named com.ibm.websphere.bo.- Programming techniques
These techniques illustrate how to effectively program business objects using the business object framework.- Configure logging properties for business objects
Use the administrative console to enable logging and to select the required log specification, level of detail, and output format of the log. Business objects provide different log specifications for different functionality areas, and selecting the appropriate level of logging helps isolate and troubleshoot the problems in that area.- BusinessObject.properties file
The BusinessObject.properties file is used to configure the runtime behavior of the Business Object Framework.
