Hi Bryan, thanks a lot for your response! Some my comments are included in your code:
>> I am thinking about the possibility of a FastCGI application around >> V8. However, I am not sure whether this is reasonably realizable: > > I have done this (v8 + FastCGI) and it works well. This is how I did it: > > The app does nothing until it accepts a request. It then looks at the > request and determines what javascript file will handle it. It > maintains a set of contexts, demand created, one for each request > handler program. > Why do you need to maintain a set of contextes? When the current "main" script finishes its run phase, I presume that the relevant context can be thrown away (BTW: how is this done in V8?) because next Request will have new context... > On creation, the context's global template is populated with a bunch > of functions for C++ provided services. Then the javascript file is > compiled and run. Note, 'run' here does not mean handle the request. > It in effect just fills out the context global object with functions > and constant data. During the phase, the javascript may call a > provided function for loading other javascript modules. This can > happen recursively and the loader function ensures that a module is > only loaded once. > Understood. So, everything is executed from scratch for each FCGI_Accept(), ok? > Also I wanted to prevent web developers from polluting the context > global object. This was to keep the object clean for reuse. V8 snap > shots may have been an option here but I never did really understand > how they worked.

If the web developers need global data they can store it in > the Request object as that is precreated and recreated before each > request.

Perhaps you would be so kind to share your code with me so I can have a look at your work? Please? :) Thanks a lot, Ondrej Zara > -- > Bryan White > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ v8-users mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
