OpenCAF Shell is a JSF Facelets-based implementation of My webMethods Server shells that uses a Facelets page template for creating and rendering an xhtml page. The page template may include the framing around the page body: header, footer, leftnav, and rightnav. You can use portlets to render the body of the page, either directly in the page templates provided in Software AG Designer or by delegating to the existing My webMethods Server resource renderers.

OpenCAF Shell allows you to customize the look and feel of the page by using standard and custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript templates combined with CAF JSF tags. For information about CAF JSF tags, see webMethods CAF Tag Library Reference.
