Do WebLogic Components basically provide a framework?
No. The BEA WebLogic Components product provides a “bag of beans” for eBusiness software development – use as many or as few as you require to get your eBusiness application up and running. In our definition, a framework is something that requires developers to use it either completely, or not at all. “True” components allow application assemblers to pick and choose the components that help solve specific parts of a larger problem. “True” components also allow the application assembler to extend the components with custom logic at both development time and runtime. These are our design principles for rapidly building “dot-com scale”, flexible eBusiness applications.
