Dwarf Server Framework - product overview
Dwarf is a Java™ technology-based framework for
developing network server applications. The primary goal of Dwarf is to
support development of network servers based on the Internet standards.
However, its architecture is quite universal and it is not limited to this
kind of applications only.
The first available Dwarf-based applications are the
Dwarf HTTP Server
with Java™ Servlets and JSP
and
Dwarf Mail Server
with ESMTP/POP3/IMAP4.
Simple design and very concise API together with an extensive documentation
makes the learning and consequent work with the framework easy and fast for
the development team.
Modular multithreaded architecture
as well as efficient implementation guaranties the performance on top.
Incorporation of Java 2™ Platform Security Architecture and
Java™ Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) helps to meet today's
high security demands.
Dwarf Server Framework, although not an all-purpose universal wheel, offers
extending the server functionality by customizing almost all its components:
- multithreaded service development
- support for TCP/UDP based services
- authentication via login modules
- authorization based on subjects
- logging and configuration
Furthemore, it comes with the full documentation, guides and examples, and is free of
charge for the binary redistribution.
