Let us define a typical web application as being a set of:
- Users - who use the application
- Roles - roles assigned to users for various functions
- Pages - where users navigate and see relevant information
- Forms - where users enter new data
- Reports - where users get a tabulated view of their data
- Permission Rules - that define what each role is allowed to do or not do
- Logic - Automatic actions that are performed at various events
- Validations - Checks that ensure the data entered by the users is valid
- Print Formats - Printable documents based on the data users have entered
- UI Widgets - Menus, Lists, Dialogs that are used for navigating, entering or displaying information
- Module - So that you can group Roles, Forms, Pages, Reports for more complex applications
Let us now start building these entities in the wnframework
