WAF Overview
This chapter is an overview of the Web Application Framework architecture. This high-level viewpoint
is especially useful for gaining a good understanding of how WAF works. It is written with both the
technical developer and the technical manager/team leader in mind.
WAF is a web application development framework. Some of the web applications that have been
developed using WAF include Red Hat Content Management System and Red Hat Portal Server.
WAF runs in any standards-compliant servlet container. For more details about system requirements,
see the Red Hat Web Application Framework Installation Guide.
Figure 1-1 describes the architecture of WAF from a high-level perspective.
