Configuring CAF Projects for Asset Build Environment

You can develop an Application Platform project that extends a Composite Application Framework (CAF) project with complementary business logic. The high-level steps for creating an Application Platform project that extends a CAF project are as follows:

1. Create an Application Platform project and build it with Asset Build Environment.

2. Create a CAF project, add a dependency to the Application Platform asset you built, and build the CAF project with Asset Build Environment.

3. Create a deployment set that contains both CAF and Application Platform assets and deploy it to My webMethods Server using Deployer.

Before deploying an application that consists of CAF and Application Platform projects to My webMethods Server, you must declare dependencies.

For more information about developing CAF projects, see webMethods CAF and OpenCAF Development Help.

Note:

Before deploying an application that consists of CAF and Application Platform assets with Deployer, you must place both types of assets in the same repository.
