webMethods CAF UI and Portlet Development (623-71E)

This course is a workshop on developing web UIs with webMethods Composite Application Framework (CAF) as standalone webpages or portlets running on My webMethods Server (MWS). Students will learn to use controls/tags from the palette and connect them with data sources such as web services. Advanced chapters will cover input validation, AJAX controls and internationalization. Specific topics such as navigation, customization and portal server administration are handled in separate sections for standalone web applications and portal deployment. Finally, with OpenUI, shell and portlet development can be JSF facelet-based, making it easy to adopt prevailing design principles (e.g., single-page application, responsive web design) by integrating with popular UI frameworks, such as Angular and Bootstrap.
