Welcome to the Guide to Managing Presentation and Business Logic: Using Webflow and Pipeline!

Webflow and Pipeline are flexible mechanisms designed to help you separate and manage the presentation and business logic that comprise your applications, without the need for advanced programming skills. All business logic is handled within Pipelines, while page flow is controlled by the Webflow mechanism. The Webflow and Pipeline mechanisms are packaged with the BEA WebLogic Portal product suite and are used in many of the product's sample applications. This topic describes the Webflow and Pipeline mechanisms, and provides information about how you can use Webflows and Pipelines in your applications.
