Abstract
A method for serving web-based content over a communication network. Requests for web content are generated using a plurality of client applications coupled to the network. An intermediary server is coupled to the network to receive the requests for web content from client applications. A data server is coupled to the network and having an interface for communicating with the intermediary server. The intermediary server accesses the data server in response to receiving a request from a client application. Using the intermediary server, a web page is generated using the database content obtained from the data server. The web page is delivered to the client application that generated the request for database content.
