For an administrator, it is important to understand the different architectures available
for the Genero Web Server, and the implications of each architecture choice.
Architecture overview
The architecture of the Genero Application Server uses dispatchers and proxies for optimal reliability, performance and integration in web servers.
Development architecture (standalone GAS)
Use the standalone GAS when developing your applications. The simplified architecture of the standalone GAS removes the Web server from the environment, allowing the developer to concentrate on the application. The standalone GAS is for development only, provided to simplify your development setup and configuration.
Services Pool (GWS Only)
When you define a Web Service application, you specify execution parameters that determine the number of Virtual Machines (DVMs) that can be available to service a request for that Web Service. These parameters are defined in the Application Server configuration file.
