Subject: Re: [regrep] [RS Issue] 1.8.1 Registry Clients, line 520 needs clarification


Hi Farrukh,

I think that this is just terminology. In a multi-tier J2EE architecture 
your JSP/Servlet UI implementation is a part of the Web tier (you need a Web 
container to run JSPs and Servlets) which should  formally be on the 
Registry server side. It could be on the same machine (application server) 
where your Registry application tier is running or it could be on a separate 
machine (your case) but to me it is still Registry server. I guess the 
reason why you put the UI on that "Registry Client" was to separate 
presentation layer processing from the application tier. Your case is not a 
special case to me. Your JSP/Servlet UI implementation is a standard Web 
tier implementation that separates presentation layer from the application 
logic and I don't see a reason for adding that "A special type of Registry 
Client" paragraph. I hope that I haven't misunderstood your implementation 
case.

Regards,
Goran
