| DFC | Documentum Foundation Classes, Documentum Programming API
Documentum Foundation Classes lies between Content Server and clients. While the main user of DFC is other EMC Documentum software, you can use DFC in any of the following ways:
- Access EMC Documentum functionality from within one of your company’s enterprise applications.
- Customize or extend products such as Webtop.
- Write a method or procedure for Content Server to execute as part of a workflow or document lifecycle.
DFC is Java based. As a result, client programs that are Java based can interface directly with DFC.
DFC is the basis for the business object framework (BOF), which is the principal tool for adding custom business logic to EMC Documentum clients (for example Webtop). BOF enables you to embody business rules and patterns in reusable elements, called modules. BOF makes it possible to extend some of DFC’s implementation classes. As a result, you can introduce new functionality in such a way that unmodified existing programs begin immediately to deliver the new functionality.
