Java application server
Light Development runs on Java entirely. On top of Java
J2SE and
J2EE runs
Apache Tomcat 5.5.
MySQL is used as relational database
management system (RDBMS). Everything is hosted at
1 und 1.
JSP and JavaBeans
For the Light Development site a combination of static and dynamic HTML pages is used.
Page objects and static HTML are stored in a MySQL database. A single JSP with dynamically
loaded JSP and HTML parts as well as some JavaBeans create all output combining static
content with dynamic parts such as menus, headline or header image.
Site management
A simple JSP web interface allows to manage static page content. Some administrative
tasks are done directly on the database and are moved to a Java client application
currently.

Pluggable web applications
Other web applications such as the Photo Gallery or the
World Holiday Calendar are 'plugged'
into the main application that produces the web site (the application that 'hosts'
other web application).
Every hosted application appears in the content part of the hosting application.
I.e. output of a hosted application is shown by the hosting application dynamically.
Built by Light Development
All components making up the Light Development site are J2EE web applications. These
components as well as the management tools are built by Light Development on pure
Java technology.
Additional domain names
Prosite
hosts additional domain names of Light Development. Any request to
lightdev.net, light-development.org, etc. is forwarded to lightdev.com accordingly.
