Christopher: thanks a lot, you are absoutely clear in explaining these  
architecture-related stuff. And yes, of course this helps me  
understand, for example that i must embed my application server in the  
same environment of Openlayers btw, using geoserver will make things a  
lot easier I think.

Anyway what made me think of an ansynchronous interaction with the  
server was the fact that when you click on the examples, in every demo  
i tried I noticed that some information was displayed on an html table  
below the map. If I understand correctly what you tell, me, all  
information displayed are cached, or copied if you prefer in  
javascript variables?

My application set (a routing application I'm projecting for my  
graduating thesis) is postgis and geoserver. Now I'm trying to  
understand if this will be enough or if I need to setup a further  
layer of a web application server that interacts with geoserver for  
the functionality I need to extend.
