This might be correct, but it doesn't hit the target: Setting up
infrastructure
may at a maximum take some days, but most likely less than 2.
Compared with that there is a very, very large market of libraries
and frameworks -
commercial or open source.
Writing a web server in Java isn't more complex or less complex than
using RB.
But using Java has other advantages, like EJB, dynamic packaging,
dynamic deployment,
full control of the deployment process etc.
Speed of developing and code-reuse is much more important.
So, if this little bit of initial effort is too much for you, then,
yes, Java
isn't the solution for you.
But, why would you like to develop a web server anyway? If you _need_
to integrate
with OS X or Win32, then a native app might be useful. If not, then just
writing a PHP, RoR or Perl script app might be a much better
solution. Coding
the web-server isn't that complicated, adding all this config stuff
as available
in Apache much more.
And, yes, I write this, although I developed and ship an app, which
includes
an embedded web server ;-) In fact, I wouldn't start again, because
dynamically
packaging the app is far too complicated using RB. Yes, the concept
itself works,
but the more I integrate, the less useful gets this concept.
Moreover, people asked, why I don't ship a simple Apache module/CGI....

Exactly! I'm still trying to set up OpenLaszlo. You have to get
Eclipse...
But NO WAIT!!! Not just the Eclipse bundle (the first mistake I
made) but
the WTP version (that's the web version). Then you need the java
jdk, but
the Sun website is mess with different downloads. Blinded by eager
anticipation I downloaded what I thought was the JDK. NOPE! It was
the java
webserver... Dang! Then back to the site for JDK. Then the
OpenLaszlo
server couldn't find the JDK. Evidently my JAVA_HOME environmental
variables weren't set. Um... Ok where do I do that at?!? After
searching
the forums I find out that the handy DOS prompt is the tool I was
looking
for... Arrrrrrgh!
Then I went to bed. I'll start again when after I have 7 more cups of
coffee. So as Bryan notes having and integrated web development
tool in RB
would be nice... So very nice...
