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.
While it's true that WOF is mostly targeted as a traditional (web) app
server, it can be (ab)use for many devious needs. This doesn't
necessary mean you should go down that path...
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.
Hmmm... how does WOF fit in the picture?
(Of course the handshake and all additional data processing is what
the servlet (or WO module if possible) would do.
Are your connections HTTP based?
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.
Hmmm... perhaps. But this sounds like trying to square a circle.
Bottomline, WO the server I get - I can push/serve data & information
to requests.
Yes. But keep in mind that WOF is tailored for HTTP.
What I'm trying to determine is can WO be setup to RECEIVE data from
another system that is NOT a WO server.
HTTP PUT? WebDAV? multipart/form-data?
(I understand that I can setup data to be recieved from another WO
Server, but this isn't the case for this particular).
Hmmm...
Does that make a bit more sense?
Hmmm... not at all.
Cheers,
PA.
