During the installation of Windchill, the web application for Windchill is configured in the servlet engine. As shown in the diagram, users can interact with Windchill by entering the Windchill web application URL from a Web browser or by using Creo Elements/Pro 5.0 or one of the workgroup managers. These methods of interaction go through the web server and servlet engine.

The web server receives incoming client requests, parses the URL, and delivers content back to the requester.

The Embedded Servlet Engine generates dynamic HTML pages with Java code. Typically, dynamic HTML is generated from servlets or JSP (Java Server Pages) grouped into the web application. Additionally, JSPs can have embedded Info*Engine tasks for integration with Windchill or other third party data sources. For details on possible Info*Engine configurations, see Interacting with Info*Engine.
