Where Do Jade Methods Execute?

Jade methods execute only in Jade nodes. A Jade node is the fundamental building block of Jade's distributed architecture. Each node contains the Jade Object Manager (JOM), the Jade Interpreter, various caches, and one or more Jade processes.

The Jade thin client is not a Jade node; Jade methods do not execute there, although a great deal of effort has been expended to make it look as though they do.

In most production systems, there is one database server node (jadrap.exe, jadrapb.exe, or jadserv.exe), one or more application server nodes (jadapp.exe or jadappb.exe), and one or more fat/standard client nodes (jade.exe) for background processing, web services, or HTML forms.

When jade.exe is run in single user mode, there is one node only.
