Within both rectangles exist another slightly smaller rectangle each with the heading Web container. In turn, within each of the two Web container rectangles there are three much smaller rectangles. The text within the smaller rectangles contained in the WebSphere Commerce Server Web container rectangle (on the left), starting from the top, says Portal servlet engine, then Portal aggregation model, and finally WebSphere Commerce portlets. The text within the three smaller rectangles contained in the WebSphere Commerce Server Web container rectangle (on the right), from the top, say Web Controller and protocols adapters, then WebSphere commerce commands, and finally WebSphere Commerce JSP files. There are bi-directional arrows between Portal servlet engine and portal aggregation model, as well as portal aggregation model and WebSphere Commerce portlets. The same type of arrows exist between Web Controller and protocol adapters and WebSphere Commerce commands, as well as between WebSphere Commerce commands, and WebSphere Commerce JSP files. There are also bi-directional arrows from Web Controller and protocol adapters, and WebSphere Commerce portlets as well as between WebSphere Commerce portlets and WebSphere Commerce JSP files. To the left of the WebSphere Portal rectangle there is a small picture of a Web server with bi-directional arrows going to Portal servlet engine, Web Controller and protocol adapters, and WebSphere Commerce commands. To the left of the Web server picture is a dashed line going vertically down the page. With the words WebSphere domain in the middle of the line horizontally with an arrow pointing to the Web server picture. Finally, under the WebSphere Portal rectangle it says Application server one and under the WebSphere Commerce Server is says Application server two.
