Eventmachine talk - Nov 2007 - JRuby and eventmachine_httpserver

Hi

I''m thinking of getting my EM-based server (Redux) to run on Java for
a small project here at work.

However, I do use the C++ HTTP parser in eventmachine_httpserver.

Is there, or are there plans for, an equivalent high-speed HTTP/CGI
shim for Java/JRuby?

Or can it use, say, Tomcat''s own, somehow? (I haven''t thought
this one
through, but I imagine it would need TC 6 at least  :-)

Cheers!

Duncan

The plan is to support all of EM''s functionality (including the HTTP
server) in native Java, so it will work either in pure Java or JRuby.
(Except for some bits, like Unix-domain sockets, that don''t make any
sense in Java.)

Unfortunately I can''t give you a time frame for a formal release. The
pure-Java EM is in svn now, minus the HTTP server. It''s a matter of
finding time to do it.
