High level overview
The Servoy Application Server exposes the majority of it's services over the so-called HTTP Port (default port 8080). Through this port the Servoy Admin page, the Web Clients and plugin services are exposed to the outside world.
How Smart Clients communicate with the Servoy Application server depends largely on the chosen configuration. By default the communication goes through the so-called RMI port (default port 1099), but the Servoy Application Server can be configured to tunnel all the communication over the HTTP port as well, through the so-called Tunnel.
