Hi all,

Using the below architecture:


What advantages does it gives me? The product literature says:


The Java System Web Server can enhance existing application server deployments (e.g., IBM WebSphere, BEA WebLogic) by boosting overall application performance and improving security. Due to its robust security features and scalable keep-alive connection handling, the most popular use of the Java System Web Server is as a secure proxy to the application server.



I don't quite understand what they meant by these. Does it means that the web server is able to handle more incoming requests or it will drop lesser incoming requests? How does it really improves the performance & security?

Cheers!
