| PackageDescription | modular, multithreaded web application server for C++
Tntnet has a template-language called ecpp similar to PHP, JSP or
Mason, where you can embed c++ code inside a HTML page to generate
active content. The ecpp files are precompiled to C++ classes called
components and compiled and linked into a shared library. This process
is done at compiletime. The web server Tntnet needs only the compiled
component library.
.
Because the web applications are compiled into native code, they are
very fast and compact.
.
Components can call other components. So you can create building blocks
of HTML parts and call them in other pages like subprocesses.
.
Requests are parsed by tntnet and the request information is easily
accessible to the components. It supports GET and POST parameters and
MIME multipart requests for file upload.
.
The template language has also support for internationalized
applications. You can easily create web applications for different
languages.
.
Other features are: cookies, HTTP upload, automatic request parameter
parsing and conversion, automatic session management, scoped variables
(application, request and session), internationalisation and keep-alive.
.
Logging is done through cxxtools, which provides a unique API for
log4cpp, log4cxx or simple logging to files or console.
.
Tntnet is fully multithreaded and much work has been gone into making
it scalable. It uses a dynamic pool of worker threads, which answer
requests from HTTP clients. |
