This section describes the processing steps in EFServiceManager, the tool Adapters, and the EFClient that take place during publish and retrieve. A good understanding of this section is important for the developers of these components because the components will share the Schema Component objects.
The Schema Component is used for data communication between EFCommonUI, EFServiceManager, and the tool Adapters.
The burden of creating and loading the meta-schema and Component Schemas is on EFCommonUI and EFServiceManager. The methods for the IEFAdapter and IEFToolDocs interfaces are designed to pass the Schema Component interface pointers for data communication between EFCommonUI/EFServiceManager and the tool Adapter and EFClient.
