Hi there,
just wanted to drop a note that I've started a sourceforge project to
create an module to run natively compiled Java inside Apache using the
Gnu compiler for Java (GCJ).
Erm, why does that need a module? Surely all it needs is to deal with
the linkage from C. I've done that experimentally, building the W3C
CSS validator with gcj, but considered this just too huge and unwieldy
to contemplate for operational use.
The idea is to have the module load and execute arbitrary Java byte code. In other words, mod_gcj will act as bridge between Apache and user-provided .class and .jar files. And if you thought linking libgcj was unwieldy you probably haven't tried to run Apache + mod_jk + Tomcat recently.
