6 | Python *Web Server Gateway Interface*, as specified in "PEP-333":http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/, is a ??simple and universal interface between web servers and [python] web applications or frameworks??. |
||
7 | |||
8 | Modjy is an implementation of a WSGI compliant gateway/server for jython, built on "Java/J2EE servlets":http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/. Which means that |
||
9 | |||
10 | |||
11 | # Jython WSGI applications run inside a Java/J2EE servlet container, e.g. "Apache Tomcat":http://tomcat.apache.org/ |
||
12 | # Incoming requests are handled by the servlet container |
||
13 | # The container is configured to route requests to the modjy servlet |
||
14 | # The modjy servlet creates an embedded jython interpreter inside the servlet container, and loads a configured jython web application, e.g. "Django":http://www.djangoproject.com/, ??the web framework for perfectionists with deadlines??. |
||
15 | # The modjy servlet delegates the requests to the configured WSGI application or framework. |
||
16 | # The WSGI response is routed back to the client through the servlet container. |
||
17 | |||
18 | |||
19 | For further information about WSGI, see "wsgi.org":http://wsgi.org. For a detailed specification of WSGI see "PEP-333: Python Web Server Gateway Interface, version 1.0":http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/. |
