Introducing WebSpeed : WebSpeed architecture
 

WebSpeed architecture

The WebSpeed environment is similar to the OpenEdge AppServer™ environment. A transaction server, which consists of brokers and agents, execute requests from a client. The unique piece of the WebSpeed environment, the WebSpeed Messenger, is a process that runs on your Web server capturing and redirecting client requests. The following figure illustrates the complete architecture for a WebSpeed deployment environment.
Figure 1. WebSpeed deployment architecture
The dashed arrows in the previous figure indicate connections that do not occur in all WebSpeed configurations. The WebSpeed agents might not have direct access to a database or a DataServer. Depending on how you architect your application, the procedure that the agent runs in response to a Web request might call another procedure over an AppServer to process database requests. The Progress NameServer might not be used in all configurations, as described in the NameServer.
