Abstract: An application server system includes a main server and one or more clients controlled by the main server. The clients execute one or more applications in one or more virtual client environments. Each virtual client environment includes a lightweight server operable to instantiate one or more application objects in response to receiving configuration information from the main server. The application objects are each associated with an application being executed at the client. The application objects store operating information related to the associated application. The lightweight server is further operable to receive operating information from the application objects relating to the operation of the associated applications and to communicate the received information to the main server.
