The DB of nodes visualized by JWeb
– Within the Director environment of Sit-Moon, a
special function allows to save the editing results (a
node for a JWeb application) in the proper Database
(CARAT)
– when a node must be inserted in the JWeb Database,
Director or CARAT is used to locate something
previously created within the Sitmoon environment.

• a coordinator environment, within Sitmoon, manages
several applications (The current suite of JWeb is mono
application)
• Applications are localized by logical names, rather than
physical files.
• The user of such a coordinator environment, first of all will
choose the application, and from there activate the different
JWeb tools.
• The coordinator environment would be responsible for
creating a new application, deleting an application, moving
pieces from one application to another
