Container of Web Client in JEE - java-ee-7

As far as I understood, client tier components are running on the client machine and within their respective container. From JEE-7 specification, there are three types of JEE Client Components, the Web Client, Application Client and Applet.
It is clear that the container of the Applet is "Applet Container", and the container of Application Client is "Application Client Container (ACC)".
My question is that what is the container for the Web Client? The "ACC"? or the "Web Container". It is confusing because one may think "Web Container" is a container only for the Web-Tier Components and not the Client-Tier Components.

Understand your concerns, I found this doc a bit confusing also.
The Container in this docs is referred to some managed environment, which provides common pieces of functionality and allow your code/components to run there.
Therefore Container for Web Client (HTML/JS generated by Web Components) will be the Web Browser itself, as it manages the lifecycle of your JS code/provides general APIs/etc.
You are right, in terms of EE spec Web Container is the Container for Web Tier's Components, not Client Tier's.

Blazor Serverside singleton service, Changes in one browser are reflected in another, when loading the same page

In Blazor serverside, I created a shopping cart in a website using a singleton service, And I expected different users have different instances of this service, But when I load the website in two types of browsers, Adding an Item to cart is reflected in another browser, And even I can see the change, (I also used a singleton service for each user's data and the site is published to the web). Is this the correct behaviour for singleton services and how to solve it?
This is the expected behavior of a singleton service. In your case you should use the scoped service.
Transient lifetime services (AddTransient) are created each time they're requested from the service container. This lifetime works best for lightweight, stateless services.
Scoped lifetime services (AddScoped) are created once per client request (connection).
Singleton lifetime services (AddSingleton) are created the first time they're requested (or when Startup.ConfigureServices is run and an instance is specified with the service registration). Every subsequent request uses the same instance. If the app requires singleton behavior, allowing the service container to manage the service's lifetime is recommended. Don't implement the singleton design pattern and provide user code to manage the object's lifetime in the class.
Taken from the Microsoft Docs.
Also, note that lifetimes work differently in Blazor WebAssembly and Blazor Server. See Microsoft Docs.

Auto-Trust internal-only services in IdentityServer environment

We have to develop a larger application with an Angular App on top and a lot of ASP.NET Core based Microservices under the hood.
Also we have to support external applications.
The external applications can be services without UI and also user GUI client applications.
Now the requirement is, that all internal Microservices are auto-trusted automatically and only for external Application the user should get the trust workflow in IdentityServer.
We're not sure how the workflow here should be configured or is be named in this scenario.
I think we need two different workflow configurations for internal and external application trusts.
Can anybody push me into the right direction which workflow and configuration fits most to our requirement?
Following providers we have to support:
- Simple Forms Authentication for our platform
- External Azure Active Directory

Creating a content hub and client application using Piranha CMS

First off, I need to mention that I'm not sure if what I'm trying to achieve is even supported by Piranha CMS (that's partly what I'm trying to determine here). They mention the ability to create a standalone content hub on their website, but my assumptions of what is possible with that model might be incorrect. What I've already done is created an ASP.NET MVC application that is hosting Piranha CMS and I've published it to Azure websites for testing purposes--that part works as expected. The content management interface is the only user facing piece here--it is meant only to serve as the content hub for the client application (just the one for now as this is just proof of concept work).
I am now trying to build a client ASP.NET MVC application that pulls content from the hub. This is where I'm thinking that my assumptions may have been wrong. I was thinking that I'd be able to install the Piranha CMS nuget package(s) on the client as well, and I'd be able to configure the framework to get content from the hub in the same way that it would if the content were hosted on the client site. I realize that I could get the content from the hub using Piranha's REST api, but what I want to do is to be able to use the more friendly entity model based api for this.
So my question is whether it is possible (within reason) to setup Piranha CMS in the way that I've described. If it is, how exactly do I configure the client such that it is aware of the location of the content hub?
There are currently no .net client api consuming the rest services as the simplest scenario would be to deploy .net applications together with the server. In the setups I've done native apps & html5 knockout/angular applications have used the rest api's for getting json data. You should however be able to white such a module, performing the HTTP calls and the deserializing the json without any problems.

Two questions regarding WCF REST service structure

I have two questions I hope I can get an answer for with regard to my service oriented application
I am creating a service oriented application where controls have no events, it's all done by calling services... that means the service url is written in my jQuery code, but this seems somehow not nice.... It's like what is the best option to save service urls?! I feel it's hard to maintain and not secure when it's written inside the page or inside javascript referenced file.
I am talking to a hosting company and they told me that I can host this application services on cloud server and the application on another servers.... not all in the same server, but my application services are self hosted, I mean the services are inside the application.... so to make things work as my hosting company wants, shall I host the restful services in IIS or how exactly?
Service URL must be in your page or script source file. It can be local address unless you are using cross domain calls and JSONP - cross domain calls requires absolute address. It is the same as any other web technology. If you want navigation to other page, you must provide URL. If you want some picture or css file you must provide URL. Security is up to you.
This will be the problem of cross domain calls. Normally JS calls can be done only to the same domain where the page is exposed. Once the application server is exposed on different domain name your calls will not work. To avoid that you must use JSONP (WCF 4 has support for that). Exposing rest services consumed by your application from self hosted application is strange. REST services are consumed by your clients - they are front-end services and should be part of your application hosted on front-end web server. Your back-end application server should not host anything directly accessible by your clients.

Using a console application to host WCF endpoints that expose asp.net ProfileService, ProfileService and RoleService

I've got an MVC web application that is used as an interface to a Console based app that exposes a bunch of ServiceHost/s using the net.pipe protocol.
I would like to use the asp.net membership/role/profile provider to manage my users and their roles and profile information (Inside the Console Application). I've done this in quite a few apps, but normally I reference these providers directly from the web application itself.
This is a good walk-through on doing pretty much what I would like, except I don't want to host the WCF service endpoints in IIS, but inside my console app - which will eventually become a windows service. When I try and host the ServiceHost through my console application I get the following error:
This service requires ASP.NET compatibility and must be hosted in IIS.
Either host the service in IIS with ASP.NET compatibility turned on in
web.config or set the
AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsAttribute.AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode
property to a value other than Required.
Now it seems that I won't be able to set that property to anything other than Required.
I've tried another route which is using the wrapper class/interface defined here for my authentication service, which I managed to get wired into in my MVC app without too much trouble, but this doesn't cover my Authorisation (using roles) or profile needs.
Has anyone got a solution to this, I can't be the only one trying to do this? I'm not
