Foil 10 Some caveats and comments

From Gateway Technology: Architecture, Collaboration, Intranets Gateway Workshop Aberdeen Maryland -- 24-25 May 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Need version 5 browsers with good XML support to properly implement front end
We draw three tier as minimum architecture but as previous diagram suggests, one is likely to build a more structured system with middle tier having more layers
Network computer breaks client tier into two with simple HTML at user and Java servlets providing heavier weight capability on a different machine
  • Here user is at a WebTV or Palm Pilot or similar low-end device
  • "As long as you use XML" can support UNIX, PC or Palmtop clients with same system and web pages
