Backends

What’s that ?

A Backend is an application that returns full HTML pages (with <html>, <head>, <body> tags) and can use KOBI tags (<kobi:fragment>, <kobi:container> …) to add components.

KOBI comes with a default backend, Shaper web used to display your designed Pages.

You may register custom backends in the case of a transition from a legacy website to a new KOBI site.

Registration

In order to use your Backend application in your Site configuration you have to register it.
The registration process is usually made at your application' startup by calling the Registry API
