Chapter 1 Introducing EAServer
You can use Java servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSPs), or PowerDynamo Web sites to dynamically create HTML pages and interactive HTML forms. Both PowerDynamo and Java servlets can call methods in EAServer components.
Java servlets are Java classes that use the standard javax.servlet API to respond to HTTP requests. EAServer can host Java servlets natively, and you can use Jaguar Manager to associate logical paths in a HTTP URL with a Java servlet. JavaServer Pages extend the HTML page description language, allowing you to embed Java scriptlets within HTML tags. See these chapters in the EAServer Programmer's Guide for more information:
PowerDynamo Web sites contain static HTML pages and dynamic pages implemented in the DynaScript language. You can configure EAServer to host PowerDynamo Web sites natively. "Creating and Configuring Servers" in the EAServer System Administration Guide describes how to configure EAServer to host PowerDynamo Web sites. See the PowerDynamo User's Guide for information on creating Web sites and dynamic pages.
EAServer hosts Web applications and functions as a Web server. You can install a redirector plug-in on the Web server host that allows you to send client requests directly to the Web server. The redirector plug-in enables communication between the Web server and the EAServer HTTP protocol listener. The redirector plug-in forwards requests to EAServer that need to access servlets, JSPs, and so on. EAServer processes the requests and returns the results back to the Web server. For more information, see the "Web Server Redirector Plug-In" chapter in the EAServer System Administration Guide.
