Does this help answer your questions? In general, I consider WFS a
relative 'corner case' -- OpenLayers users seldom use it compared to the
number of WMS users, for exactly the reasons you describe, so I
apologize if my first email was less than clear.

Christopher: thanks a lot, you are absoutely clear in explaining these architecture-related stuff. And yes, of course this helps me understand, for example that i must embed my application server in the same environment of Openlayers btw, using geoserver will make things a lot easier I think.

Anyway what made me think of an ansynchronous interaction with the server was the fact that when you click on the examples, in every demo i tried I noticed that some information was displayed on an html table below the map. If I understand correctly what you tell, me, all information displayed are cached, or copied if you prefer in javascript variables?

My application set (a routing application I'm projecting for my graduating thesis) is postgis and geoserver. Now I'm trying to understand if this will be enough or if I need to setup a further layer of a web application server that interacts with geoserver for the functionality I need to extend.
