Overview of Jigsaw
The Jigsaw server is entirely written in Java. Because of this, it
offers the following features:
-
Portability
-
Extensibility
-
Object Oriented design
Jigsaw will run on any platform that supports Java, with no
changes! Jigsaw has been reported to run on several platforms
Jigsaw is made of a core and a set of extension modules. You can add
your own modules, dynamically, to the server. Moreover, because the
Java runtime comes with both threads and garbage collection, your job, as an
extension writer, is largely simplified. The full code of the server is
object-oriented. The interested thing is that all the resources are
objects. By opposition to most of the existing servers, which consider a
resource as being either a cgi script or a file. Jigsaw
allows any object to become accessible via HTTP or whatever
protocol implemented.
