FirstSpirit architecture
FirstSpirit™ is a classic client/server application which is entirely based on Java and web technology. Access to the FirstSpirit Server occurs either via the FirstSpirit SiteArchitect or the FirstSpirit ContentCreator. Communication between the FirstSpirit-Client and the FirstSpirit Server is, depending on the application scenario, either based on HTTP(S) using an application server, or on the direct application of TCP.
The live system actually provides contents to the end user. The FirstSpirit Server does not necessarily have to be connected to the live system all the time. If there is no permanent connection to the live system, all the data required by the live system is transferred during deployment, so that no direct interaction between the live system and the FirstSpirit Server is necessary.
