Component
A Component is a Main Development Object that defines an executable part of an application. It defines the data structure used to access data, the layout (if applicable) used to present it, and the actions used to modify, validate, and store data.
Although components are always defined as a specific type, such as a Dynamic Server Page or a Service, they share the same namespace, so names of components must be unique for all components, not just for a specific type of component.
For more information, see Components .
