How Siebel Open UI Creates Shadow Objects for Applets, Business Components, or Business Services

Siebel Open UI does the following to create a shadow object for an applet, business component, or business service:

• Siebel Server. Siebel Open UI creates the ObjInfo (SWE_PROP_SHADOW) shadow when it encounters an object that includes a custom script that you write. The server gets the class name and the file name of the shadow from the Siebel Runtime Repository. It packages the class name and file name into the SWE_PROP_SHADOW, and then sends it to client.

• Client. Siebel Open UI gets the class name and the file name from SWE_PROP_SHADOW, loads the script file, creates the shadow object with the retrieved class name, and then stores the shadow pointer in the applet object or the business component object.

The process is the same for a business service except Siebel Open UI uses the SWE_PST_SERVICE_SHADOWS shadow.
