title: Facebook React.js :: Pass data for Client Side rendering
body: <p>I am trying to create my first web application using React.js.</p>
  
  <p>I wish to have React perform client side rendering, however the pages rendered are controlled by data held on a server hosted database.</p>
  
  <p>How should i pass this data to React?</p>
  
  <p>Do i have to pre populate each html page on the server side with a json representation of my data?</p>
  
  <p>Or can React access my database from the client side directly (or using a RESTful API call)?</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE: 001</strong></p>
  
  <p>All the examples i can find have REACT.js installed on node.js.
  Can i use REACT.js on Apache Tomcat™, IBM Websphere Liberty Profile, Jetty?</p>
