Application Architecture
Building component-based applications is drastically different from building event-driven applications (such as PowerBuilder client/server) or top-down applications (such as Cobol modules). When you develop with components you are making intercomponent calls to perform processing. Security and transactions are most affected by this development approach. The steps to developing a component-based system are to define a server, then a package, and finally the components.
