| PackageDescription | Ada Web Server development files
AWS is a complete framework to develop Web based applications. The
main part of the framework is the embedded Web server. This small yet
powerful Web server can be embedded into your application so your
application will be able to talk with a Web browser. Around this Web
server a lot of services have been developed.
.

forms or URL parameters and to build an associative table for easy
access.

keep client's data from page to page.
- Support SOAP to develop Web Services.

library.
