Benefits of Web Tools

Web Tools provides the following benefits:

• More elements for composition of the user interface.
• More efficient rendering of Web pages.

  The DOM (Document Object Model) structure in Siebel Business Applications is simplified, and the DOM is assembled using a single HTTP response, not multiple relays between the client and the server.

  When you use Siebel Tools, content is trimmed only from the client. Also, post-response JavaScript execution trims content. When you use Web Tools, the server evaluates client capabilities, such as resolution and form factors. Content is tailored from the server, and more efficient options are available to manage content.

• Decreased network traffic.

  Only the content that is necessary to currently render the user interface is included in responses. Extraneous content that the client must later discard or ignore is not included in responses. This decrease in content decreases the network traffic.

• More control in the client.
• Improved file loading.

  The framework files that are needed to start a Siebel application are loaded from the manifest. The files for the presentation model and physical renderer that are needed to render Web pages are also loaded from the manifest.
