Long time user of Tomcat... I've even written my own Java app that starts up an embedded Tomcat container complete with using Security Realms.
Haven't used Jetty before, so I don't have any experience with it. I'm not opposed to giving it a whirl. I'm assuming I can programmatically deploy WARs and it has some sort of Security Realm -esque feature that can authenticate users against a database. I'm starting a prototype of my server now. I've got the embedded database in Phoenix figured out. Testing the DataSourceSelector now. My next step is adding a sevak container in the mix. My 1st milestone Phoenix prototype includes: Startup server w/ (1) config parameter to switch between using JDBC to an embedded HSQL database or to an external MySQL server (2) sevak container using security realms (users/roles in either embedded or external database) and auto-deploy a test webapp WAR (3) hit my webapp from a browser and test authentication (against the configured database). My timetable for this first milestone is sometime early December. Once that is working, then I'm off writing other blocks/webapps that will handle various HTTP POSTs to the servlet container. Would like to have a decent prototype functioning to show my superiors by the end of the year. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Krieg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Avalon Applications Developers List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 10:37 AM Subject: Re: Sevak Catalina problems > There is a working sevak servlet container -- using Jetty -- that is all set > to go.
