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.

Organization of this section

• 3.4.1 Configuration with servlets and JSPs as access points (for Web server integration)

• 3.4.2 Configuration where servlets and JSPs are used as access points (when accessing the NIO HTTP server directly)

• 3.4.3 Configuration with Session Beans and Entity Beans as access points

• 3.4.4 Configuration where Stateless Session Bean is used as access point when using CTM
