Simple SmartContainers

The Simple SmartContainer provides you with a way to create Smart modules that can run in batch mode without a user interface. You can see this usage illustrated in Figure 6–6, where loadable modules are created by packaging SmartDataObjects and SmartB2BObjects in Simple SmartContainers. Since neither the SmartDataObject nor the SmartB2BObject has a run-time representation, there is no need to use a visible container. The Simple SmartContainer provides the critical services encapsulated in the SmartContainer super procedure without the overhead of a visible window. This can be very convenient in selected cases.

Of course, if you prefer to use a visible SmartContainer such as a SmartWindow, you are perfectly free to do so.
