About CAF Controls
To develop the user interface for an application, you add CAF controls to View Declaration Language (VDL) files. Composite Application Framework (CAF) provides two sets of its CAF controls:
*Controls for JSF applications implemented with .view files
*Controls for JSF Facelets applications in .xhtml files
Both sets of CAF controls are available in the Palette view, and are essentially identical, providing the same behavior and control attributes in each case. When you add a control to a VDL file, it is added using the appropriate code for the container file, either .view or .xhtml. In both cases, you can view and modify the control attributes through the Properties view, or directly in the code if you prefer.
You can find descriptions of the CAF controls and their attributes in webMethods CAF Tag Library Reference. For more information, see Finding Information about CAF Controls.
