Using a Resource Catalog
A resource catalog:
- Enables application developers to find and incorporate shared resources, such as libraries containing ADF BC Model Objects, validators, message bundles, and so on, that were created by other members of the team
- Provides a federated view of the resources from one or more otherwise unrelated repositories in a unified search and browse UI
- Enables you to store libraries comprising a common repository that can be used by the developers building any client application
- Ensures that all application developers use the same business model without any discrepancies
Notes:
Using a Resource Catalog
The Resource Catalog is your window into the many disparate resources your application may need to consume. It enables you to define connections to the resource providers, and to drag those resources into your application as needed. The resource catalog provides a search tool to search all the defined repositories in a single action. Connections can be created for the following types of resource repositories:
Application server
Database
File system
UDDI Registry
URL adapter
WebDAV
BAM/Fabric
BI Presentation server
BPEL
MDS connection
Portlet producers
Virtual Content Repository (VCR)
WSDL adapter
