Client/server applications

Each ODABA application may run in local (exclusive) mode or as client/server application. ODABA supports different types of client/server architecture from thin server/fat client (replication server, file server) to thin client/fat server (application server). The object server supports medium client/medium server applications. The right choice usually does not depend on the way, the application is implemented. Object server applications, however, may run methods on the client, on the server or on both. This requires questioning, whether a method is running on the server or not and should be taken into account, when planning to run an application also in object server environment.
