ServerFX delivers applications, handles distribution policy and allows server side objects to be created. It handles application requests and updates, and runs almost anywhere because its only dependency is a Java Virtual Machine. ServerFX and ClientFX together provide a systems approach that allows an enterprise to deploy, manage and upgrade applications over time with the ease and accessibility that makes browser access transparent and easy for consumers or corporate employees.

Performance
ServerFX performs well for good reason. In a traditional web environment each click in the browser creates a new connection to the web server and a lot of activity for server side computing to create the next page to be viewed in the browser, consuming network bandwidth too. ServerFX in concert with ClientFX uses the power of the client. ServerFX delivers code that runs on the client, so repetitive connections are not made; moreover, code is only delivered once, cached, and only updated in the areas of change.

Ease of development and Scale
Development is easy, just ignore us! Develop your application to stand alone, as developers naturally do for client side operation. When it is functional, just drop the code in the ServerFX repository and make the appropriate fx:// link on the web site where you need it. The application is now live, always up-to-date and can be made to use the server database and resources by tagging objects as server side (without code re-write).

Security
Complexity and security are not complementary. The baseline for all activity on the server is a secure sandbox, that removes a whole class of typical attacks and abuses that are inherent to native code. Fine grained policy control is configurable where needed, but the default is secure and as such can be ignored in most cases. There are no deployment descriptors, no mappings, no handlers, no externally declared resources, or other indirections. The server runs, holds server side objects and delivers and updates code as needed from one directory, the repository. Simple, yet very, very safe.
