Overview:

The Web EEC is a web application based on Eclipse Rich Ajax Platform (RAP), which makes it possible to put EEC models on the web.

The following figure gives an overview of the system configuration:

Browser:

The Web EEC is a web application that the user calls up in a web browser, such as Internet Explorer. The graphical interface of the application is displayed and executed in the browser window.

Web EEC Server:

The Web EEC requires as an execution environment a web server like Tomcat that implements the servlet specification. The essential Web EEC Server’s function is to supply to the client and / or browser Form-UI-based user interfaces, process user requests, send function calls to the EEC Server, and process their results accordingly.

EEC Server:

The operation of a Web EEC application requires, apart from the Web EEC Server, an EEC Server. Its essential task is to manage the data and models, as well as provide fundamental EEC functions, such as the execution of commands.
