Purpose

The Web Container is the runtime environment where J2EE Web components run. It provides the following services to them:

·        Life-cycle management

·        Request parsing and dispatching

·        Formatting dynamic responses

·        Access to other J2EE platform technologies implemented on the SAP J2EE Engine such as security, naming services, transactions, threading, deployment and so on.

By providing all these services, the Web Container significantly simplifies the work of the Web application developer and lets him or her concentrate on the layout and the workflow of the Web application.

Integration

The SAP J2EE Engine Web Container is represented by the Web Container Service and HTTP Provider Service. It serves as an entry point of most client requests to J2EE applications that are running on the SAP J2EE Engine.
