 |
|
DSP is exciting. I wanted the NGWF(tm) (next great web framework) to be a D webserver/D servlet container combo with dynamic loading of servlets and whatnot and then I discovered that you had most of this going!
I checked out the SVN trunk this morning and built it on my ubuntu webserver. I had to make some changes--dsp/tags/all.d was referring to files that weren't there, and there was a Linux bug with the path handling in app.xml's <application> path attribute...the server is running now but when I go to localhost:8080/dspconf/index.dsp for example, I get a 500 internal server error and the following log message:
20228 ERROR mango.servlet.ServletContext - Internal error:\home\kevin\src\dsp\dspconf\ndex.dsp: No such file or directory
Don't know how Linux handles backslashes as path separators--it might not. But it also looks like the i is getting chopped off the URL filename...
So I'm going to poke around some more and see what I can do to make the path handling more platform agnostic. But just wanted to let you know that this looks like a fantastic project! |

 That's just awesome, and thanks for the compliments! At the time of my last commit (a good while ago), I was on the cusp of using more Mango components to get better portability. I'm excited to see that it ported as well as it did.
Although there are a few things you should be aware of with DSP if you weren't already in-the-know.
In short, I am 100? focused over on DDL so that DSP will behave as expected. The major hurdle is a disconnect between the typeinfo trees in the on-demand compiled portions (the .dsp files) and the server/dsp engine itself (take a look at the status log thread in the forum). DDL will address these problems, and several more to boot (take a look at the size of those .so files in the cache!).
From DDL, we will also get a better server platform to work on.
That having been said, it *does* work for small servlets and trival applications. Enjoy!
As for the current state of DSP: the current build is very windows centric so path problems in ports are going to crop up - there's likely more than what you've found so far. Please feel free to hack away on what's there but do keep in mind that it's going to undergo a near complete rebuild once DDL 1.0 is released. Because of that I'm not going to be integrating any patches for the codebase - but do feel free to post any critiques or suggestions here in the forums. I'll harvest those ideas when the time comes to build a superior product.
