<p class="MsoNormal"><span>2) The Jetty Web Server
has been embedded in J-ISIS, thus when you start J-ISIS, you have a database
server (Database is a Berkeley DB) as well as a Web server. Records are
displayed through the Web browser and can access other Web resources with the embedded Jetty Web
server.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><br></span></p>
