Currently, I have JRun running with NES 3.6 on the web server. Some of the
servlets act as RMI Clients and access an RMI Server on the application
server through a firewall. This works fine.
Although, someone is trying to point out that doing it the following way
would be a lot easier and just as secure. (I.E. Re-do my architecture)
I'm tring to poke holes in this and I'm HOPING someone else can support me:
Instead of having JRun run with NES on the web server, they want to have
JRun run, in standalone mode, on the application server. The Servlets, on
the app server, would then make calls directly to the database. The web
pages, on the web server, would point to the JRun instance + servlet name
on
the app server (versus to a servlet on the web server). There's still a
firewall between the web & application servers.
1.) Is this second way secure? If so, or if not, please let me know which
one is more secure and for what reasons.
2.) Is this way beneficial AT ALL over the first method?
3.) Is this way documented or is anyone using this method?
If you could PLEASE get back to me ASAP (like by 3/25) I'd appreciate it
GREATLY!
Thank you
