Here are some things which have been floating in my mind for a while. the HttpServer we already have is pretty cool too. We can add more stuff to it to add features proposed by Manu. I reviewed the HttpServer a bit today and it has support for both GET and POST request. I dont think we need support for any other request types. It also has session support (I think through stateful session beans)
I am hoping that it should not be difficult to add an AJAX filter to it which processes AJAX requests. Secondly, in the HTTP Server itself, we could provide templates in text files (instead of jsp's) and use swizzle to parse those templates and spit out html . Also, it would be totally cool if we can write our own little action based MVC framework. We don't need a full featured framework, just a place where we can plugin our "actions" and get the next view etc. On 8/28/07, Mohammad Nour El-Din <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Karan, what did u mean by the Apache Commons Http, did u mean Apache > Commons HttpClient, but it does not support building Http servers just > clients !!! > > On 8/26/07, Karan Malhi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I have been thinking about this.
