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

Binds this controller information into MDS as OA Extension.

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 data Augmenter 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
