Instead of having a client side Java aplication running on top of a local Java VM, the JAXFront HTML-Renderer is a servlet application and is therefore located in the servlet container of the server. On the client side a Browser (IE, Mozilla, Firefox with JavaScript) is sufficient.



When the user request a page a DOMHanlder will be created on the server. The handler will then parse the xml files and build a DOM representation. Based on the structure of the DOM a HTML page will be created and sent back to the user. The user can then edit or create a new XML instance.
The JAXFront HTML-Renderer is highly dynamic and will adjust immediately to user input. Therfore input data is exchanged with the DOMHandler on the server side. This is done with asynchronous JavaScript (AJAX).
When the XML instance should be saved, the DOMHandler will serialize the DOM (holding the instance data) into an XML document. The XML can then be sent i.e. to a WebService.
