Application introduction

The application controller handles calls to external web services or any other application. Instead of embedding it into the user interface, all application calls are handled separately by the application controller, which is controlled by the flow controller and interacts with the data in the scratchpad.

This concept allows application design to be completely separated form the user interface design. It also helps speeding up services considerably, as the applications calls are launched in parallel with the transfer of the user interface frames. The application controller contains one or many applications, which in turn contain one or many transactions.

The application controller also support different types of filter to extract correct data from XML, text or HTML. This makes it easy to integrate and “mobilize” to exising back-end applications.
