What exactly is middleware/Web middleware?
Middleware:
As the name implies, middleware is the software that provides the connection between system software and application software to facilitate the connection between the software and the components of the system. Middleware is located between the operating system and higher-level applications (isolates the operating environment of the application from the operating system).
Operating system-middleware-application
Web middleware: The
main function is to provide software that connects system software and application software to facilitate communication between software components.
Middleware is also called middleware server, also called application server.
Under normal circumstances, the order of web access is:
web browser-WWW-web container-web application server-database server
What are the common web middleware:
weogic, Jboss, tomcat, webshere, IIS, etc.
Many people can't distinguish between web server, web middleware, and web container when they are just learning, they often get confused.
In fact, the three of them should be included:
web server> web middleware> web container
This chapter mainly introduces middleware/web middleware, and then I will make a detailed content of common vulnerabilities of middleware, web server, web container, and web middleware.
I am also groping slowly in a safe direction. These are all my own notes. I welcome your comments and criticisms.
