Developing Advanced Controls

Java controls are a key part of the programming model for those writing web applications with WebLogic Workshop. Controls can be used to capture the bulk of an application's business logic, encapsulate access to resources with a simplified interface for developers, and so on.

This guide is intended for those building more sophisticated packaged controls. WebLogic Workshop provides rich run-time support and an API for building controls that support design-time features through IDE extensions, customization through JCX files, and asynchronous operation.
