Throwing another option out there: FastCGI. It's is probably less than
ideal, but lots of web servers support FastCGI. Here's a "hello world"
app, a simple counter, using FastCGI's Java library:
importPackage(java.lang);
importPackage(Packages.com.fastcgi);
var count = 0;
while (new FCGIInterface().FCGIaccept() >= 0)
{
count++;
System.out.println("Content-type: text/html\n\n");
System.out.println("<html>");
System.out.println("<head><TITLE>FastCGI-Hello Java stdio</
TITLE></head>");
System.out.println("<body>");
System.out.println("<H3>FastCGI-HelloJava stdio</H3>");
System.out.println("request number " + count + " running on
host " + System.getProperty("SERVER_NAME"));
System.out.println("</body>");
System.out.println("</html>");
}
Requires the Java library from here: http://fastcgi.com/devkit/java/
I haven't been able to get mod_fastcgi to start instances
automatically, only manually by using the [apparently non-standard]
FCGI_PORT environment variable, and setting mod_fastcgi to use
localhost and the same port. Glancing at the library source, it seems
to decide to go into fcgi mode only if FCGI_PORT is set (otherwise it
goes into cgi mode; obviously not suitable for Rhino due to slow JVM
startup speed), so I think this library is outdated/incomplete/not
compatible with mod_fastcgi.
Does anyone know of a better Java FastCGI library? If not, would
anyone be interested in helping update it or write a new one for use
with Rhino?
Thanks.
