3.4 Determining the configuration of the client and the server
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. For configurations that use servlets and JSPs as access points, separate explanations are provided for systems that use Web server integration and systems that access the NIO HTTP server of the J2EE server directly without going through a Web server.
-
Servlet and JSP
-
Session Bean and Entity Bean
-
Stateless Session Bean when using CTM
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.
