CloudWriter Architecture

CloudWriter comprises the following:

• An interface module that deals with the specific requirements of the particular web server (Apache, MS IIS, etc.).
• The CW main module that instantiates global variables from cookies and query strings, fetches the CW script, preprocesses it, submits it to the interpreter, postprocesses the HTML generated by the script, and returns it to the interface module.
• The CW script interpreter.
• The CW object library (CW scripts that describe objects)
• The CW runtime library (written in a compiled language).
• The ODBC Manager, which communicates with the various ODBC implementations.
• The RC21 DBMS, the built-in relational database.

 These are described graphically in CloudScript Data Flow.
