Java Client Architecture
The Java Client architecture differs from the HTML-based WebObjects architecture
in that it’s distributed across client and server systems as shown in
Figure 6-4 . The
server-side portion interacts with a database server as in HTML-based WebObjects
applications, and the client-side portion, in addition to providing the application’s
user interface, can also contain non-sensitive business logic.
