Entity Object - business component entity objects maps to
database table or view that allow DML operations and that used to
cache data result set and perform validation before post changes to
database.
Association Object - business component association objects implement the relationships between different entity objects and can mapped to database referential integrity constraint or non existing referential integrity constraint and this case constrain will be validated in OAF but not in database.
View Object - business component view objects are used to display data in UI pages and it can be based on
1- Entity Object or many entity objects and this case it supports DML operations.
2- SQL queries : that's doesn't support DML operations
3- Static : Programmer create structure of view object attributes and can add static data also.
4- Programmatic : Programmer write code at runtime to get dynamic data of view object.
View Link - Establishes a master/detail relationship between different view objects and can be in more depth master/detail/detail/....
Validation View Object - A view object created exclusively for the purpose of performing light-weight SQL validation on behalf of entity objects or their experts.
Application Module - An application module is a container for related BC4J objects. The AM is connected to the database, and is responsible for the commit and rollback of a transaction.
Validation Application Module - An application module created exclusively for the purpose of grouping and providing transaction context to related validation view objects. Typically, a standalone entity object or the top-level entity object in a composition would have an associated validation application module.
Root Application Module - Each page layout region in an OA Framework application is associated with a "root" application module which groups related services and establishes the transaction context.
This transaction context can be shared by multiple pages if they all reference the same root application module, and instruct the framework to retain this application module (not return it to the pool) when navigating from page to page within the transaction task.
Entity Expert - A special singleton class registered with an entity object (EO) that performs operations on behalf of the EO.
Controller - The controller is the java code in charge of loading a page when we call it. It is also in charge of handling an event on a page, like a click on a button, or the call of a List Of Values.
Attribute Set - Bundles of region or item properties that can be reused either as is or with modifications. For example, all buttons sharing the same attribute set would have the same label and Alt text.
