Class ServletWebServer

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Runnable

    public class ServletWebServer
    extends WebServer

    This is a subclass of the WebServer, which offers a minimal servlet API. It is recommended to use this class, rather than the WebServer, because it offers you a smooth migration path to a full blown servlet engine.

    Use of the ServletWebServer goes like this: First of all, create a servlet. It may be an instance of XmlRpcServlet or a subclass thereof. Note, that servlets are stateless: One servlet may be used by multiple threads (aka requests) concurrently. In other words, the servlet must not have any instance variables, other than those which are read only after the servlets initialization.

    The XmlRpcServlet is by default using a property file named org/apache/xmlrpc/server/webserver/XmlRpcServlet.properties. See the PropertyHandlerMapping for details on the property file.

       final int port = 8088;
    
       XmlRpcServlet servlet = new XmlRpcServlet();
       ServletWebServer webServer = new ServletWebServer(servlet, port);
       webServer.start();
