SAIF.Application overview

Documentation context: Packaged Component (NuGet)

SAIF.Application provides the shared application-manager layer used above BOF business objects. It standardizes application lifecycle hooks, role-based accessibility state, data-portal registration, reusable authorization caching, and service-response messaging for consuming applications and service-hosted managers.

Purpose

• Provide abstract base types that coordinate application-layer initialization, security evaluation, context validation, and read/write operations.
• Supply reusable helpers for SQL Server and Oracle portal registration, caller-visible message formatting, and cached authorization checks.
• Support both classic application managers and a lighter service-based manager pattern built around IDataPortalInfo.

Responsibilities

• Define the AppManagerBase contract for application-manager workflows.
• Register and expose keyed IDataPortalInfo instances through ApplicationDataAccess.
• Cache authorization outcomes by resource name through UserAccess.
• Format and aggregate user-facing message text through MessageFormatting and service response types.
• Expose service-oriented result objects through ServiceMessage and ServiceResponse.

Key components

• AppManagerBase: Abstract application-manager base class with lifecycle, role-state, and message-handling responsibilities.
• ApplicationDataAccess: Multi-portal registration helper for SQL Server and Oracle data portals.
• UserAccess: Authorization cache wrapper over clsSecurityPrincipal.IsAuthorized.
• MessageFormatting: Shared message-string formatting helper.
• clsServiceAppManagerBase: Service-hosted base class that works from a single injected IDataPortalInfo.
• ServiceMessage / ServiceResponse: Service result and message transport types.
