As you learned in the previous chapter, Enterprise Objects Framework is divided into layers. This chapter takes a closer look at the responsibilities of each layer. It does so by describing the classes in each layer and demonstrating the roles they play in the four most basic types of Enterprise Objects Framework applications:


Classes in a Command-Line Program
The Access Layer
The Control Layer
Classes in an Application Kit Client/Server Application
User Interface Objects
The Interface Layer
Access and Control Layers
Classes in an HTML WebObjects Application
Classes in a Web Application with a Java Client

The Distribution Layer
