USE of CAF database

[Former Member]

Hi all,

This is a fundamental question i need to know as i am new to composites.

Why do we design the Service Entity module in CAF perspective while developing a composite?

Is is for persistence database?

Where is this persistence stored?

Can there be any other way?

I think yuo are looking for the difference between the various service provide in composite application services enviornment and also the persistence.

CAF Core automatically creates the entities you create in the database layer. It behaves as a data abstraction layer for the NW Java app server and whatever database SAP supports. if you need new entities that don't exist in any other systems or are not accessible by your NW java application you can use caf core. you can even use it to access remote entities if you want to using RFC or web service. or you can just forget about it if you don't need it as long as your application can access the data you need wherever it is.
