COMPOSITE APPLICATIONS - DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT

Assembling and wiring your composite application
A composite application is an aggregation of components that can have inter-component communication. To do this, a composite application needs to have the components assembled and wired to together so a user-initiated action in one component can trigger a programmed action in another component. Components can be reused in multiple composite applications.

To assemble and wire the components, use the Composite Application Editor feature from the IBMR LotusR NotesR client for NSF-based composite applications and for composite applications hosted on WebSphere Portal. You can also use the Portal Application Template Editor from a web browser for composite applications hosted on WebSphere Portal. These procedures are outlined in greater detail in this section of the documentation.

Before you can assemble and wire a new NSF-based composite application, you must determine which NSF will hold the composite application definition. If you are storing the composite application on WebSphere Portal, you need to create a new composite application instance using the Portal application catalog.
