=== Data layer ===

The data layer is responsible for database access, storage and providing a common data interface to the business layer. Data is accessed not in [[Object-oriented programming|object oriented]] fashion but in a [[Relational database|relational]] way. Each [[Entity class|entity]] (represented as a row in the database) is provided to the business layer as a set of generic values. A generic value is not typed, so fields of an entity are accessed by the [[Column (database)|column]] name.

=== Key Integrationsintegrations ===

Apache Solr is an enterprise search server with a REST-like API. It's highly scalable, adaptable, comprehensive, and capable of processing and handling large amounts of data. The Apache Solr / OFBiz integration not only speeds up searches, but also greatly enhances the search capabilities of OFBiz. Solr also added faceted and hierarchical search capabilities to OFBiz.
