Architecture

The figure below shows how Web-to-Host works once the system administrator has created the host sessions and published them to users. The following sections describe how this architecture is applied to each of the component types.

The ActiveX objects and JavaBeans are downloaded to the client the first time a user opens a session. When you install updates on the server, they are downloaded automatically to the client the next time a user opens a session. This architecture enables the client to communicate directly with the host, as shown in the figure above.
