Mod_Corba 0.1
|
What is it? |
Mod_Corba is a plug-in module for the
Apache web server.
|
What does it do? |
Mod_Corba exposes the Apache "module" API via CORBA. With this, any
object in any language on any system can be used as a plugin module for an
Apache web server, without recompiling or restarting the server. Since the
entire internal operation of the Apache web server is based on the module API,
the possibilities are almost limitless.
Mod_Corba uses C language bindings of the fast, lightweight
ORBit
ORB. This minimizes the overhead for using CORBA objects to
extend the Web server.
The Mod_Corba distribution includes source code for a demonstration request
handler as an example of an Apache CORBA extension.
