Developing AppServer Applications
Design and Implementation Considerations : Primary performance considerations : Choosing an AppServer operating mode
 

Choosing an AppServer operating mode

You can configure an AppServer to run in one of four operating modes:
*State-reset
*State-aware
*Stateless
*State-free
In addition, stateless operating mode supports two connection states, bound and unbound, that are determined by your AppServer application at run time. State-free operating mode also provides support for bound connections, but PSC recommends that you avoid them. For information on how each operating mode affects the operation of an AppServer installation, see AppServerand Client Interaction
* Application characteristics to consider
* Managing larger amounts of context
* Managing smaller amounts of context
* Limiting bound connections
* Considering ample computer resources
* Considering the future
