An Internet application is only as reliable and scalable as the architectural components that go into making it. As far as architecture is concerned, there are two major schools of thought in the fast evolving domain of Internet technology - one built on Java-based technologies (the Java Model) and the other based in Microsoft-built technologies (the Active Server Model). zeroCode produces sites that use Java-based technologies (the Java Model). It builds applications that follow the Java Model of thought, using components and an interaction model that are tested time and again for scalability and extensibility. The zeroCode architecture is based on a specific set of objectives - objectives that are common to any strong application architecture. This document describes the standard zeroCode architecture in detail. The components in the architecture include deliverables to the zeroCode customer, interlinked with third-party components (some not owned by the customer) that enable high-availability, high-scalability server mechanisms.
