Hello, I successfully installed Webware on my Redhat 7.1 box a few days ago, but am having some trouble with a few concepts. Before I get into that, perhaps I should tell you what I would eventually like to accomplish using Webware.
I created and maintain a website at http://cyclist.wblogan.net. You might want to take a look to get a feel for what I would like to do. My username is 'benl', and you can login with the pulldown menu on the left. The site is written in PHP with a MySQL backend. This was my first such project, and it shows! :) The code is nasty and unmaintainable, and the interface is crummy. I do have an improved version in the works on my own system, but I've pretty much ceased work on it. The new version is about 10,000 combined lines of PHP+HTML, and has a much more modular and layered design. However, I would *much* rather code this project in Python. It looks like WebWare could simplify the process for me. Is this a good candidate for an application server? If I'm understanding the concept behind an app server, the state of my application could remain intact between pages without me having to try to maintain it between pages. That's what I've been using sessions in PHP for, but it always seems to get complicated--especially when it comes to accepting/validating form data. Or maybe I'm just dense... I think I get most of the ideas from the examples provided with WebKit (and looking through the sources), but I'm mainly confused about transactions and the HTTP{Request,Response} classes. (OK, so there are a bunch more that I don't get, but those seem most relevant.) I'm just having some trouble getting started with WebKit--probably because I'm completely new to appservers in general. I hope I've made my question clear.
