This section describes the configuration types for the client and server, the processes deployed on each machine in the respective cases and the features of the respective configurations.
To determine the configuration of the client and server, you need to decide the relationship between the client side that calls the procedure and the server side that receives the call. You then need to identify the access points of the application running on the server side.
The client and server configurations where the following components act as access points are explained below. The details of the configuration in which servlets and JSPs act as access points are explained by classifying into two cases; one where Web server integration is used, and one where an in-process HTTP server is used.
Hereafter, the machine with Application Server deployed is called the Application Server machine and the machine that is used as the client is called the client machine.
