These server modules are described in the following sections.
Content Engines
Enterprise Server content engines are designed for manipulating customer data.
The following three content engines make up the Web Publishing layer of the
Enterprise Server architecture: HTTP (Web Server), Content Management, and
Search.
The HTTP engine represents the core of the Enterprise Server. From a functional
perspective, the rest of the Enterprise Server architecture resides on top of this
engine for performance and integration functionality.
The Content Management engine enables you to manage your server’s content.
You create and store HTML pages, JavaServer Pages, and other files such as
graphics, text, sound, or video on your server. When clients connect to your server,
they can view your files provided they have access to them.
The Search engine enables Enterprise Server users to search the contents and
attributes of documents on the server. As the server administrator, you can create a
customized text search interface that works with various types of documents
formats, such as HTML, Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF, and WordPerfect. Enterprise
Server converts many types of non-HTML documents into HTML as it indexes
them so that users can use your web browser to view the documents that are found
for their search.
Server Extensions
The Enterprise Server extensions enable you to extend or replace the function of the
server to better suit your business operations. The following server extensions are
part of the core Enterprise Server architecture:
•
Common Gateway Interface (CGI)
•
Netscape Server Application Programming Interface (NSAPI)
•
Java Servlets and JavaServer Pages
Common Gateway Interface (CGI)
is a stand-alone application development
interface that enables you to create programs that process your client requests
dynamically.
