Overview of Java Client


The Java Client feature of WebObjects distributes the objects of an Enterprise Objects Framework application between an application server and one or more clients--typically Java applications or Web browsers. It is based on a distributed client-server architecture that uses Java for its client-side objects. This architecture is multi-tier in that processing duties are divided among a client, an application server, and a database server. With a Java Client application, you can partition the business logic and data associated with enterprise objects into a client side and a server side. This partitioning can improve performance and at the same time help to secure legacy data and business rules.
