Tim,
There are quite a number of issues in running a WEB Server in a shared
environment such as an ISP Host or Inter-Department Intranets
I have developed a WEB Server that deals with some of the issues:
If the Security Manager is set to ON for a Server:
-The application will not allow writing/deleting of files with the same names
as the allowed executibles; e.g. javac.exe.
- Read/Write/Delete access is configurable.
-There is a miximum memory setting.
-There is a miximum number of Threads setting.
-There is a miximum Thread Priority setting.
-There is a list of allowed executibles setting.
-Runtime Restrictions include the option of restricting an application on a
server from setting the SecurityManager,creating the SecurityManager,setting
the Standard Input/Output, and exiting the JVM.
You can download the Server FREE of charge at http://www.ezwebtools.com
