SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY PARTITIONING AN APPLICATION BETWEEN A WEB SERVER AND AN APPLICATION SERVER

A system and method for automatically partitioning application components of a web application between a web server and an application server. Both the web server computer and the application server computer may implement an application component container. A method for programmatically analyzing the application components to determining an appropriate partitioning of the application components between the web server and application server computers may be employed. A deployment computer system may be connected to the web server and application server computers through a network. After the application components have been analyzed to determine an appropriate partitioning of the application components between the web server and the application server, the deployment computer system may then automatically deploy the application components on the respective computer systems according to this determined partitioning.
