Understanding Operational Requirements

Before you begin to deploy and tune your application on the Application Server, it is important to clearly define the operational environment. The operational environment is determined by high-level constraints and requirements such as:

■“Application Architecture” on page 19

■“Security Requirements” on page 21

■“Hardware Resources” on page 22

Application Architecture

The Java EE Application model, as shown in the following figure, is very flexible; allowing the application architect to split application logic functionally into many tiers. The presentation layer is typically implemented using servlets and JSP technology and executes in the web container.
