The Servlet plug-in
Servlets are becoming a standard category of processor for Web Servers.
It is currently supported by many server software and offers flexibility
comparable to our plug-ins API. In order to allow plug-in access and usage,
we have created a Servlet access plug-in. This plug-in will allows you activate
and manage Servlets on the Server.
All the selected servlets need to reside in the servlet folder of the installation
tree. Since servlets are not multithreaded and require manual mapping of
their extensions, we do prefer and promote the usage of plug-ins.Plug-ins
will use code very similar to the servlets but offer many speed enhancements:
- Plug-Ins are intantiated as required by the calling thread, they offer
full multiThreading
- Single instances of Servlets require synchronization of accesses
- Plug-ins directly map extensions to the server which means less processing
- Plug-ins support a Scheduler mechanism, built into HoverWEB for periodical
tasks.
- Servlets are supported by many Web server vendors.
In general, using servlets offer great flexibility between server implementations.
You will note however that HoverWeb can run on any machine supporting Servlets,
and it is very often easier to start HoverWEB than servlet support.
try and compare both technologies.
