Business objects programming

Business objects are containers for application data, such as a customer or an invoice. Data is exchanged between components by way of business objects. The underlying structure of a business object is an XML schema definition (XSD), and programmatic access to business objects is provided via business object interfaces in WebSphere®. Collectively, these aspects of the business object, its structural representation, its programmatic interfaces, and its behavior and manipulation within the service component architecture (SCA), are the business object framework, which provides a powerful, consistent means for describing and delivering business data in your solution.
