Considerations for Creating an Application Class Implementation

Oracle recommends that:

• Implementations of related terms be grouped in a single class in which different methods are responsible for deriving the term's value.

  This practice facilitates maintaining a manageable number of application classes.

• In situations in which the probability is high that multiple related terms are accessed during a single business event:

  • You have a single implementation return a rowset, record, or vector containing the data for as many of the terms as possible.

  • When defining the term, you specify which data element in the rowset, record, or vector is to be used for the term.
