Hosting the Codebase on an AppServer
Hosting the codebase on an AppServer has the following advantages:
- If the codebase can reside on the same AppServer that hosts the business logic, both sets of code reside on the same AppServer, which simplifies administrative tasks.
- If the AppServer hosting the business logic already has security (such as user IDs and passwords), placing the codebase on that AppServer lets the codebase be protected by the same security at little or no additional cost.
But hosting the codebase on an AppServer has the following disadvantage: It might require configuring an additional AppServer if the AppServer hosting the business logic cannot handle the additional strain of hosting the codebase without unacceptable performance degradation.
