== Why would you use the Eiffel Web Framework ? ==
|
|
|
|
To enjoy the advantage of the Eiffel technology (language, DbC, methods, tools)
|
|
To write once and run on any web server, on any platforms thanks to the notion of connector.
|
|
|
|
== What is a connector? ==
|
|
|
|
A connector is the layer between the underlying httpd server, and your application based on EiffelWeb.
|
|
Currently, 4 connectors are available within EiffelWeb (but others are available outside).
|
|
* CGI: the common CGI application (apache, iis, ...)
|
|
* FastCGI: on any server supporting libfcgi handling (apache, iis, ...)
|
|
* Standalone: a standalone Eiffel Web server, it can be run anywhere easily, and debug simply with EiffelStudio's debugger. It supports all concurrency modes, and require EiffelStudio >= 16.05
|
|
|
|
Supporting a new connector is fairly simple, it just has to support the simple EWSGI specification which is really small. Then EiffelWeb will bring the power on top of it.
|
|
|
|
So you can build your application and be sure you will be able to run it ... anywhere thanks to the concept of connectors.
|
|
|
|
== EWSGI specification ==
|
|
|
|
EiffelWeb relies on a small core specification, named EWSGI (Eiffel Web Server Gateway Interface).
|
|
It is very limited on purpose to allow building new connector very easily.
|
|
|
|
For now, you just need to know EiffelWeb is compliant with EWSGI specification.
