offcourse the main known webservers out there are in C/C++ (java has
been around for only 4 years or so now). But still, there are 2 java
servers out there that I know of. (there are non in Ada) :
1. Sun Java web server.
http://wwwwswest2.sun.com/software/jwebserver/index.html
2. Jigsaw http://www.w3.org/Jigsaw/
"Jigsaw is W3C's leading-edge Web server platform, providing a
sample HTTP 1.1 implementation and a variety of other features
on top of an advanced architecture implemented in Java."
Many of the current commerical webserver also provide large amount of support
for Java build into them (NetDynamics, Netscape EnterpriseServer, etc..).
Any webServer nowadays that does not have strong server-side support for
Java will not have chance in making it.
Also, the java servlet API is becomming the most used API for writting
server-side applications/cgi's (or servelts) in Java. Ada is completly
absent when it comes to any thing related to webservers (you'll think
that is Ada strongest point, since web servers are large complex, and
many are multi-threads applications), and also Ada is absent in the
web/internet are in general.
By the way, I am not putting the Ada language down here. Ada as a
language is very good. But it is irrelevent when it comes to the
commerical software industry.
West.
