Table 105. Content-protocol constants of the ODKConstant interface.

Content-protocol constant Description
CONTENT_PROTOCOL_ONREQUEST

Specifies that the ODA generates its content "on request"; that is, Business Object Wizard explicitly request content generation by the ODA. When such content is ready, the ODA runtime notifies Business Object Wizard, which can then retrieve the content at its convenience.
CONTENT_PROTOCOL_CALLBACK

Specifies that the ODA generates its content "spontaneously"; that is, it cannot predict or guarantee when its content will be generated. When such content is ready, the ODA must notify Business Object Wizard, which can then retrieve the content at its convenience.
