The Client/Server Model Process to process communication (PPC) • The underlying platform of the client/server programming. Web-based Software Development
The Client/Server Model Two Tier (Traditional) Client/Server Model Exercise: Name a commonly used client/server technique. • Sockets programming Web-based Software Development
The Client/Server Model Three Tier Client/Database/Server Model ? ? APIs: JDBC ADO Web-based Software Development
The Client/Server Model Two Tier Web Based Model Web-based Software Development
Three Tier Web Based Model Web-based Software Development
Multi-Tier Web Based Model Various configurations? • Multiple Databases • Distributed Databases • Multiple application instances • Web server farm Web-based Software Development
Sample Web Based Applications • dynamic web pages – interactive i/o • multimedia presentations • Web based multi-player games • access to remote databases • connectivity to legacy computer systems • front end of a transaction application • intranet applications • scientific simulation and visualization Web-based Software Development
Sample Web Based Applications- scientific simulation and visualization Web-based Software Development
Representative Web technology - Client Side Development • Interpreted or executed by the client (that is, the Web browser). • Note: Web pages are originally stored on the Web server. Web-based Software Development
Representative Web technology - Client Side Development • Issues with client side scripting • Inconsistent support across the Web browsers • Source exposed to the viewer • Security • Awkward connectivity to back-end (e.g., ODBC) Web-based Software Development
Representative Web technology - Server Side Development • Interpreted or executed by the server side applications. • The result is then sent back to the Web browser. Web-based Software Development
Representative Web technology Server Side Technologies • Common Gateway Interface (CGI) • Active Server Pages (ASP) • Java Servlets • Java Server Pages (JSP) • Distributed Components-Based Technology ( CORBA, DCOM, EJB, RMI, … ) Web-based Software Development
Representative Web technology Database Connections • JDBC: Java Database Connectivity • ODBC: Open Database Connectivity • OLE-DB • ADO: ActiveX Data Objects Web-based Software Development
Representative Web technology Web-based Software Development
Follow-ups: • Read MSS Chapters 1 & 2 (part of Assignment 1) • Next: • Overview of cryptography Web-based Software Development
