I'm not sure I understand... WebObjects is an application server. All
it does is "sits and listens". You connect on whatever port it's
running on, send it some data, and it processes that and (optionally)
sends a response. That's what a server does.
Well, the application that I'm contemplating has many 'processes' going
on. Some are related to images or data being received, others are
pushing data/images to connected clients as it comes in. I guess I see
your point in that WO is always listening, however I guess I've got it
stuck in my head that WO is primarily a server as in web pages or
connection requests from a java client.
These connections will be coming primarily from a 3rd party application
like Telnet or SSH that simply wish to push data to a connection point.
(Of course the handshake and all additional data processing is what
the servlet (or WO module if possible) would do.
Basically, I'm trying to not relegate WO to only being able to handle
web 'stuff' in my mind. If I can also setup 'processes' that run and
do things beside serve up web pages - all the better. This is good
reason to be able to keep this all under one code base and one
processing roof so to speak.
Bottomline, WO the server I get - I can push/serve data & information
to requests. What I'm trying to determine is can WO be setup to
RECEIVE data from another system that is NOT a WO server. (I
understand that I can setup data to be recieved from another WO Server,
but this isn't the case for this particular).
Does that make a bit more sense?
Appreciate any additional thoughts or comments...Bob
