Manual
OCSelot's way of being slim and accessible doesn't stop
at documentation: the manual doesn't present every detail of the system,
repeating what can just as easily be found in
the
overview, the
examples, and the
API.
It is there to supplement the other docs by shedding light on
aspects otherwise insufficiently covered.
To set the scene
let's briefly recapitulate the main players in an OCSelot application:
There's the proxy, a local representative of a remote object,
and the subject, the remote object serving the proxy, and
there are the client and the server, which function as mediators
between the other two.
The four components are linked unidirectionally, like this:
and in this order, from left to right, the manual will deal with them:
