Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE) is one in a series of server components that enable communication between Siebel eBusiness Applications Web Clients and Siebel Servers.
Siebel eBusiness Applications are a family of zero-footprint, Web-based applications that you access through a standard Web browser.
These applications use several server components to service these Web clients:
- A Web server. Client Web browsers connect to Web servers to display Siebel Web Client applications.
- Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE). A plug-in extension that runs within the Web server.
- Siebel Web Engine. The SWSE communicates with the server components of the Siebel Web Engine within the Siebel Server for access to Siebel eBusiness Applications data and logic.
For information on supported hardware, operating system platforms, Web browsers, and Web servers, refer to System Requirements and Supported Platforms.
