NAME

Yote::WebAppServer - is a library used for creating prototype applications for the web.

SYNOPSIS

use Yote::WebAppServer;

my $server = new Yote::WebAppServer();

$server->start_server();

DESCRIPTION

This starts an appslication server running on a specified port and hooked up to a specified datastore. Additional parameters are passed to the datastore.

The server set up uses Net::Server::Fork receiving and sending messages on multiple threads. These threads queue up the messages for a single threaded event loop to make things thread safe. Incomming requests can either wait for their message to be processed or return immediately.

PUBLIC METHODS

do404

Return a 404 not found page and exit.

process_http_request( )

This implements Net::Server::HTTP and is called automatically for each incomming request.

shutdown( )

Shuts down the yote server, saving all unsaved items.

start_server( )

BUGS

There are likely bugs to be discovered. This is alpha software.

More important than bugs are the incompletions, such as the cron not being taken offline for now, and the Cache not completed. These are top todo at the time of writing.
