[Paraview] ParaviewWeb with remote, distributed data

[Sven Kramer]

Thank you, Seb, I'll try those settings beginning of next week.

Probably you can also help me with a few points of my huge lack of
understanding ParaviewWeb. Here, http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/ParaViewWeb_Design
a tomcat web server is mentioned to provide the PWService. Where does
pv_web_visualizer.py fit into those design diagrams? Does it replace tomcat
by providing PWService independently?

There are so many outdated ParaviewWeb articles in the Wiki that I find it
extremely difficult to understand the current design. Can't somebody remove
the old articles or clearly mark them as "Applicable only to Paraview
<x.y.z"?
Is http://www.paraview.org/ParaView3/Doc/Nightly/www/js-doc/index.html the
most recent documentation? Or is it also not valid for Paraview 4.x and 5.x
as ".../Paraview3/..." in the link address suggests?

Thank you
Sven
