Content Application Developer Manual / Version 2301
Table Of ContentsThe CoreMedia CAE defines a mapping framework to create application-specific "business" objects from generic content objects. In order to do that, application specific classes have to be written and they have to be registered with a factory that is used throughout the application whenever a content object needs to be converted into an application bean.
Note
Blueprint comes with content beans. If your project does not use Blueprint but uses content types similar to the Blueprint document types, then you may derive your content beans from the Blueprint content beans. You only have to write content beans from scratch if the content types of your project differ significantly from the Blueprint content types.
ContentBeansare rendered by the rendering layer. See Section 4.3.3, “Views” for details.ContentBeanscan be cached inDataViews. See Section 4.2, “Data Views” for details.ContentBeanscan be used for other purposes than rendering, for example for implementing web services, for business logic deployed in the CAE Feeder, or for custom standalone applications.
