SV: [thelist] architecture question

[Marcus Andersson]

Maybe they just want to relieve the app server from serving static files
(which is actually quite common) and let it focus on the stuff it's
there for, that is, creating dynamic content for your site. Weblogic is
quite expensive so if you remove handling of static stuff from it I
guess you can get more dynamic content for the money (less number of
servers). Btw, are you using EJBs or something else that requires a full
J2EE container such as Weblogic?

Hi folks,

We have an interesting archtecture for our main site here and I was
wondering if someone could elaborate on whether it was a good, bad or
indifferent type of thing, and if it is common or not.

Things are divided into two groups. On a Weblogic server (the App server
we call it) are jsp pages and associated java files, etc. The pages are
actually .html pages that get processed into jsps (that part I don't
know much about) after some processing for various things.

On the other side is an IIS web server that serves up all the images,
PDFs and some static files.

I'm wondering why the split, if it makes sense and so on. I've gotten a
couple of half-baked explanations here which did not make sense.
