Description
This property is only applicable if the
Database Behavior property is Y (In Database).
When Uniface reads or writes component data in a database, it normally uses the a path that is defined in the assignment file. Each entity can specify the path to be used. However, entities can also delegate data access to an Entity Service component. This makes it possible to centralize the business logic for database I/O.
