-Die zugrundeliegende Speicherungsschicht wird von den StorageObjekten realisiert. StorageObjekt ist eine generische Klasse, die zur Zeit nur als Datenbankablage realisiert ist. Es waere jedoch mehr oder weniger einfach auch eine Ablage im Filesystem zu implementieren, womit offline-Arbeit mit dem Produktionssystem denkbar waere.
+Looking from the request of a client browser onto MIR, the http-request is passed
+via Apache/Tomcat to either Mir.class or OpenMir.class. Mir.class handles all
+request that deal with internal administration tasks of MIR. OpenMir is the
+Servlet that deals with all open tasks: adding comments or articles/media to
+the system.
+
+These servlets don't do much but dispatching the tasks to an underlying code
+level, called ServletModules. OpenMir.class is basically a special case of Mir.class,
+no authentication is needed, and only two underlying ServletModule are used.
+
+The following explanation is about how requests are passed through, and responses
+to the client-browser are generated. The request has to pass through up to four
+levels of code (and from there asking the database), until it collected all the
+necessary data or performed all necessary tasks, to be able to respond.
