2.1.2 WaveWorks Components
The WaveWorks components are shown in the following diagram and described below.
Display ServerManages the user interface and screen flow for radio-based, thin client
applications. Maintains client data variables to record the state of the client application. Invokes
business services via WaveWorks messages.
Message ServerProvides light weight message routing and load balancing services between
the various WaveWorks system components. Supports Command / Response style
communication for the execution of business services, and unsolicited client-to-client messaging.
Business Server (Object Broker)Manages the creation, destruction, and invocation of COM-
based business service objects. Automatically creates and destroys object instances based on
system demand. Permits sharing of database connections by multiple clients. The WaveWorks
architecture supports multiple Business Servers, running on either local or remote systems.
