ArticlesServers for All Seasons

March 1997 / Cover Story / Net Applications: Will Netscape Set the Standard? / Servers for All Seasons

1: LiveWire --- An add-on to Enterprise Server 2.0, LiveWire delivered the set of services -- scripting, persistent sessions, database access -- that have become standard for the new breed of Web development tools.

2: Server-side LiveConnect -- Enterprise Server 3.0's LiveWire system gains the ability to deploy server plug- ins (SPAPI modules) in conjuncton with server-side JavaScript.

3: ServerApplet -- Enterprise Server 2.0's primitive Java mechanism, called HTTPApplet, couldn't integrate with LiveWire. Enterprise Server 3.0's Java mechanism, called ServerApplet, can work alongside JavaScript and plug-ins through LiveConnect.

4: CORBA/IIOP -- In Enterprise Server 3.0, plug-ins can be packaged as Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) objects that communicate through IDL interfaces. These can be deployed on the Web server (in-process or out-of-process) or on a separate application server.

5: Direct IIOP -- Thanks to Communicator's embedded Java Object Request Broker (ORB), Netscape clients can bypass the LiveWire subsystem when appropriate and talk directly to CORBA servers over Internet Interoperable ORB Protocol (IIOP).
