Web server

Two Beatrix applications together make the Web server example application: an HTTP service front end and a Tomcat-based servlet engine back end (Webtrix). The HTTP front end is designed so that various back ends can be used--for example, a simple static page provider. The Webtrix back end is just one example.

See the document ``Start running Jtrix'' on the Jtrix.org Web site for an example of this in action.

The most interesting thing about the Webtrix back end is that it understands that its Tomcat engine needs to be physically close to the HTTP server (a worker netlet) which responds to the HTTP queries. Therefore its access points for this are not simple proxies; they are fully fledged Tomcat engines. More details are presented below...
