HTML-Client Architecture

BI Beans HTML-client architecture supports the creation of servlet- and JSP-based applications that require only a Web browser as a client. The beans that enable HTML-client deployment perform the following activities:

In this architecture, to access and manipulate data and perform state management, a servlet can interact with one or more of the HTML-client presentation beans (ThinTable, ThinCrosstab, or ThinGraph), the OLAP beans (Query, QueryManager, MetadataManager, and Connection) and the persistence service.

BI Beans HTML-client architecture uses OLAP data from an Oracle Database and provides the ability to save and load object definitions from the BI Beans Catalog.

The following diagram gives a visual representation of this BI Beans HTML-client architecture.
