webMethods OpenUI Shell is an implementation of My webMethods Server shells, based on JavaServer Faces (JSF) Facelets, that uses a Facelets page template for creating and rendering an xhtml page. You create an OpenUI Shell page project that contains an xhtml page in Software AG Designer. You can use either pre-defined project and page templates to create your OpenUI Shell application, or custom project and page templates that you define on the Preferences > Software AG > UI Development > Templates page in Designer.

After you create your OpenUI Shell page project, you can use portlets along with CAF JSF tags to render the body of the page. You can also add more xhtml pages to your project.
