Abstract

Enterprise applications are typically developed in an object-oriented fashion: Real world objects, such as production facilities or warehouses as well as artifacts like sales orders, are mapped to so-called business objects. A business object is an entity capable of storing information and state. It typically has a tree like structure with leaves holding information about the object or connections to other business objects.
