Multi-tier Application: an application consists of multiple
programs each may reside on a different system.

Multi-tier Applications
Client: interface to the user. It should be as thin as possible.
Thin-client: no software to install on the client site except a
standard web browser. Thin-client makes applications easy to
deploy, easy to maintain and easy to upgrade.
Web Server: communicates with the user interface.
Application Server: business logic implemented here with
tools from ASP.NET, J2EE, WebLogic (BEAS), WebSphere
(IBM). Most application servers have separate modules to
dynamically generate user interfaces to be sent to the client by the
web server.
Database Server: persistent data stored for the application.
All three server could reside in the same server hardware.
J2EE
Java 2 Enterprise Edition (http://java.sun.com/j2ee)
a platform for developing multi-tier enterprise
applications with standardized modular Java
components
provides a complete set of services to handle
many details automatically
takes advantage of many features of the Java 2
Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE)

The Web.config File
To support XCOPY installs to install applications by
copying them to a directory and uninstall them by
deleting the files and directories.
XML
Both the tag semantics and the tag set are user definable.

Three custom errors modes
1. On: displays custom errorMessage.html locally and remotely
2. Off (default): displays debugging information locally and
remotely. (Dangerous!)
3. RemoteOnly: displays debugging information locally and
errorMessage.html remotely

Web.config
Strings defined in the .config file can be retrieved in the program at
run time:
string conn = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings ["MyConnectionString"];
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<appSettings>

Insert
Cache.Insert ("AMZN", 12.00);// or
Cache["AMZN"] = 10.00; // replace existing entry
Remove
Cache.Remove ("AMZN");
Usage
decimal amzn = (decimal) Cache["AMZN"];
Locking

rwlock.AcquireWriterLock (Timeout.Infinite);
Expiration (new)
Absolute:
Context.Cache.Insert ("Stocks", stocks, null,
DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(5),
Cache.NoSlidingExpiration();
Sliding (expires only if not accessed):
Cache.NoAbsoluteExpiration ();
Cleaning Callbacks
Context.Cache.Insert ( ,
