No. The role of Lightstreamer Server is only to deliver the real-time updates to your pages. This means that you continue to leverage your existing infrastructure (i.e. Web server, application server, DB server, etc.). For example, if your site is based on a cluster of Apache Web servers, you will keep that cluster and simply add a Lightstreamer Server cluster. The Web servers will serve all the pages and resources of the Web application (HTML, JS, CSS, images, etc.). The Web application can be based on any frameworks, toolkits or paradigms, with no constraints. For example, the Web server could leverage a J2EE application server to have the HTML generated from JSP, servlets, Struts and JSF. The Lightstreamer Servers will deliver all the data updates directly to the browser. Please see http://www.lightstreamer.com/architecture.htm#dep for an architecture diagram.
