I was talking to Christian Werner about how to have undroidwish work well with Naviserver, allowing Tcl scripts to run in undroidwish, and return their results to a calling Naviserver page. Why do this? Perhaps undroidwish loads libraries that are not (easily) available under naviserver?
I think the best way is to have a naviserver module that implements a “worker pool of processes”. The module would launch X numbers of this external process (say, undroidwish), controlled via STDOUT/STDIN, and dispatch requests free members of the pool, returning the result to the caller. This would be an efficient way to have slow-loading Unix processes brought into Naviserver efficiently. For some reason, I imagined that this feature existed already, years ago, but I can’t find a mention of it. Certainly, there is a lot in Naviserver that resembles this idea already. -john
